My Life and Career's Saviour

Do you know the saying "physically present but mentally absent?" That happened to me while I was in my graduate degree course. I graduated earlier than the usual 4 year course. I finished my college degree in just 3 yrs and 1 term since my school follows a trimester system. However, I was really worried because I entered the graduate degree program while I was only 19 years old. I was the youngest among all my classmates. 

In fact, most of my classmates were already president, owner, manager, CPAs, supervisors, etc. In short, a lot of them were either professionals or already had a established career. While me, I was nothing. I was just a full time young student in a graduate degree program. Well looking at myself that time, I was really ashamed. Everyone in my classes was already earning while me, I was still dependent on my parents. For me, that was unacceptable. That was the reason why I eagerly search the internet for income opportunities. I want to help my parents and I really want to earn on my own.

Thankfully, one faithful day, while I was in my business ethics class, one of my classmates, while reciting, mentioned a site that provides online work which pays dollar per hour. Actually, I did not even know what the question was and the topic of the discussion since my mind wasn't there. However, at that precise moment, my mind became physically, mentally, and spiritually present! I listened and took note of the site's name, oDesk. 


When I got home, I checked out the site, read some reviews, registered, and organized my profile. Actually, it took me a while to do all those things. At first, I was doubtful about the site's genuineness. Even my parents didn't have a good feeling about it. They thought it's a scam. They were worried because when I got my first contract, I was too excited that I didn't even sleep.

But then, later on, when I managed to withdraw my earnings after my first contract, they were surprised and very happy. I used payoneer and withdrew my earnings through BDO. Actually, there's this funny feeling, while waiting for the money to come out of the ATM machine, that moment was like a slow motion of one waiting for the winning numbers in a lottery! Sorry for exaggeration but that's how I felt that time.  Well, that's the evidence my hard work and sleepless nights of working online didn't go to waste.

I really and heartily thank God for letting me discover this rare opportunities online. God is really my life and career's saviour! :) So for you who are looking and still searching for jobs online, don't lose hope. Have faith and always pray to God with all your heart. For sure, if it comes from your heart, He truly listens and will definitely give you the answer in the most appropriate time.
