Purpose

There are 101 interesting professions or 'calling' that a person may get involved in; some are more common than others while some are really niche areas:

- Running coach

- Life coach

- Financial planner is common, however Financial Negotiator may be less common i.e. the one who represent others in making settlement with the 'alongs' (unauthorised money lenders)

- Pet-sitters/ House-sitters

- Dog/ Cat/ Horse/ Pet whisperers

- Customised pet groomers e.g. anime-themed

- Wilderness Guide

- SME Digitalisation Consultant

- Head hunter (not the Iban kind)

- Talent Manager

- Digital Empowerer (haha, this is a made-up name) > one that helps teach others how to use digital devices; or create apps that makes non digitally savvy lives better

- App Developers

- "Bum" = actually this was the story behind BUM the clothing line; the founder just wanted to surf all day and be dressed in a certain way hence giving birth to the business

SME Digitalisation Person is what I want to be, after I finish the PhD.

Currently my boys and girl are in limbo and staying at home. All have finished their diploma but lingering and probably trying to figure out what to do next. It is not easy not knowing what to do. 

Somehow when I finished my degree I had clear choices: continue with Masters and be a lecturer OR do the professional certification and be a lawyer. I chose the latter. I ended up as a lecturer anyways but an unconventional one at it. This skillset will probably be useful someday somewhere, but right now I am focused on finishing the PhD and thereafter the consulting job beckons.

[There are possibly 5 other names that one can use to describe a 'consultant' so once I finish the PhD, I should think of  name card with a reasonable title, one preferably that does not contain the word "con" in it]

I am also interested to develop some apps:

-Wish List or Gift List = for birthdays or weddings a person or the pair chooses what he/ she/ they want and select it from a particular store or site = those who are his/ her/ their friends can select to contribute to part or all of the price. The recipient will receive a card e.g. "With warm wishes from A, B, C, D, E, F and so on" without identifying who bought what or paid how much

- My Calling or Career Planner = combo of RIASEC and MBTI and Multiple Intelligence and PEOPLE-DATA-THINGS and a proposed list of professions come out. It suggests the type of tasks that the person can try out to know about the profession; OR this connects to YT or Tik Tok channels that have short videos on "what to try out" OR to affiliates/ training centres that offer short courses

- Law Learner = I saw Putri Sofia's app but not really enthused by it. For this honestly I don't know what content to put or how the teaching will be done. Or even what topic. May something along the lines of Duolingo with parts/ units that highlight definitions, or basic law concepts
