My education background is diploma in marketing with zero working experience (with the exception of part time jobs at fast food restaurants and starbucks). I&#39;m from a medium-to-do family, with my dad&#39;s annual income estimated more than 250k per year. I admit that I&#39;m a bit spoiled. My parents never say no when i asked for monthly allowance (around 1.5k sometimes I asked 3k). But i will only ask if I&#39;m really running out of cash. So that explains I have no savings. I&#39;m trying to ask for my friends advice but they mostly think I&#39;m joking because according to them, the way I carry myself and my poise never look like I&#39;m having financial problem or facing life difficulties. Many times I feel sad when comparing myself to my friends as they are way more successful than me, with secure jobs at GLC companies and with profession such as doctors, lawyers...etc. Right now I do not know what to do as I am no more within employment age plus my dad, who believes in conventional way to achieve things in life (i.e: working) does not really keen on me doing business. I dont know what to do right now. I&#39;m depressed and thinking about this makes me emotionally low and sometimes having suicidal thoughts. But I know and I have that believe in me that somehow someway and someday, I will achieve something in life that will eventually makes everybody to be proud of me. The problem now is I dont know which way should i take, should I try to scout for job? should i start a business? what kind of business? what kind of business and how to convince my dad so he can lend some money or collateral to me? But no MLM please.<br /><br />Please feel free to comment or bash as I can take harsh criticism.<br /><br />Btw, Im a woman and first born. Please do not make comments or joke such as asking me to look for sugar daddy and all that coz I&#39;m very serious about this plus I want to earn my own money and be independent. blissmk Jobs &amp; Careers Fri, 29 Aug 2014 11:57:48 +0800
