Career path

The contact time I had with my director today made me think "What will my career path be like in my organization?"

I am a person who will stick to one company and not resign unless REALLY necessary. At least, I try not to resign unnecessarily. Hmm.. I think I am a rather accomodating person always believing that if I cannot change my environment, I try to change myself - Not compromising my values & principles.

Now... Let's recall my past jobs (not counting the many part time jobs).

1st - Engineering Assistant (1 year) : Resigned because there is nothing to learn there. Basically, my JD is to sit at my table and er.. hmm.. do nothing.

2nd - Associate Engineer (2 years) : One of the BEST place I have been thus far. It gave me great colleagues Resigned to further my studies.

3rd - Research Coordinator (1.5 years) : Contract over.

4th - Clinic Executive (1.5 years) : Resigned to finally enter Social Service.

Now that I am in a profession where my passion lies, how then, can I be the head and not the tail?
