Normal person vs Abnormal person

In Singapore, most of us are brought up to live like a normal person. A normal person is defined as someone who is doing what everybody is doing. Do you remember when you were looking for a job, like everybody else, you wonder which one is suitable for your academic qualification. Then, you suddenly, you realize your entire education didn’t fit your passion. By then, it seems too late to turn back the clock and you choose to remain in the same line to leverage on whatever you have in order to get your first job.

As years go by, you become an expert. For some, the job become stagnant and you become restless. You begin to realise that the corporate ladder and the prospects left for you isn't as fantastic though this is what a normal person would take up. With the loyalty between the company and the employee drifting apart, job hopping and retrenchment has become more common and strangely normal too.

Despite these strangely normal situations, people continue to live like everybody. It seems oddly natural as well. For some, they remain contented with their career, either job hopping or join the forcasting game on who starts the firing (i.e. either you fire your boss first or the other way round)

The last thing on a normal person's mind is to get out of the normal employment cycle and do something different, like starting a business. You start to realize that the abnormal way is even harder and more challenging than what your normal employment demands. The normal peers will begin to look at you with abnormal eyes and you realize that there is really something wrong to go against the ‘nature of norm’. So by the way, what is a normal profession? And do you still want to be an entrepreneur?
