Aiyor, I got the job. Why the 'aiyor'? Well, if I didn't get it I wouldn't have to think so much. I think I need a list of pros and cons to help me make a decision.

Pros
1. The name Telekom will look good on my CV.
2. Basic pay is good. If I close a deal, then commissions ++. My jobs comes with travel and entertainment allowance also. But that one standard la, in the sales line ma.
3. 1 month advance notice is I want to resign from my post.
4. I'll start work tomorrow. Means, everything is going according to my plan and mets one of my goal in life, a real job before I turn 21.
5. My relatives won't bug me during CNY because I can just tell them "Yes, I found a job and already working, so get off my case" Huahuahua.
6. Half of this month goes to training, so I don't really have to work yet.
7. I can learn how to convince and close deals with different types of people. I get to meet interesting, mad, annoying and maybe beautiful people with this job. I can't really do that if I were to become a programmer.

Cons
1. I don't think the allowance is enough.
2. 1 year probation, but then again it doesn't matter for my case.
3. If I take this job, I have to take a little detour on my initial working life plan. Arghh. I guess one can plan a perfect picnic but can't predict the bad weather.
4. Can't take time off work for my potential interviews!
5. If I'm working I won't be able to freely say "I can start anytime" to jobs that I want. Some employers pass on applicants like me.

Blurry facts
1. What if this becomes my permanent job?
2. My mom don't really like the idea that I even went for the interview, but then again it's my job, my life. She can control me forever man.
3. I'm greedy. I want the best of both employed and unemployed world.
4. I'm hyped up about the job, but do I have the potential to really sell Telekom's services? I have less confidence on that. What if I don't meet sales targets? What if I don't even meet my own target?

Korkor where are you when I need you. I need your advice.

I've got to sign my employment agreement tomorrow already...aiee how how? I really don't know what to do.
