10 Types of Careers and Relationships

Every stepping stone of your career is similar to a relationship with its own ups and downs. Here are 10 types of career moves with their relationship equals.

10. Undergrad College - A Romantic Love Affair

When all is right with the world and the birds chirp and the sky is blue and you think you've found the one and it'll take the devil himself to break you apart...


9. MBA - Non Committed Affair

When you don't know what you're doing or what you're feeling but you'd just like to go with the flow in the moment because you neither have any clue of what's going on nor any will to put the effort of figuring out.


8. Desk Job - Arranged Marriage

You didn't know what you signed up for. So better follow the social conventions and go as life takes you forward. The road might not take you where you wanted to go, but that this point you'd go pretty much anywhere.

3. Artistic Job - Live-in relationship

"I'm not saying you're bad at what you do. I'm just saying what you do isn't worth doing."


2. Exchange Semester - Wild Drunk Party

The newfound freedom! The independence! No more aunts asking "padhai kaisi chal rahi hai." No caring about "chaar log dekhenge to kya kahenge." You're bound to get carried away a teensy bit. But wait, there's a paper to be submitted tomorrow? Damn!


1. Entrepreneurship - Forever Alone

Because the woods are dark and deep, but I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep...
