Oh, when I was younger, I wanted to either become a CEO of a big company or be self-employed. I was really sure that this would bring me an adequate remuneration and, as a result, a sense of satisfaction. What is more, I understood that I was good at problem-solving and managing people, could take on responsibility and work under pressure, which was very important for pursuing such careers.
Well, on the whole, ‘no’ as this is what I still dream about. However, now I realize that there are quite a lot of things in this career which I didn’t think about at a younger age, for example, the fact that working under pressure is robbing people of their life, taking them from their families and pushing them to participate in the rat race in order to get recognition and good money.
