crossroads

i am so confused right now with regards to my career path. Recap, I am undergoing a 10-day training at Coastal Training Technologies and it will end on Tuesday. Coastal is the leader of providing training materials for US Companies. There are various topics ranging from Sexual Harassment among employees, to health care training to emergency action plan training. Mediums include DVD, VHS, Handbooks, Internet, etc. My job is to contact companies and recommend to them training programs that they could use for their employees, etc. It's not hard selling, if they don't need it, then we will not force them to buy. The people at Coastal is very friendly. I'm part of batch 26 and all of them are my friends right now. I am actually one of the youngest and one of the few fresh grads in the batch. Some of my batchmates have children already. The pay is also very good! Aside from the basic pay, you could still have commissions. Coastal is a good company- nice people, good pay, and has a nice location in Ortigas.

AND

I'm having a hard time choosing what career to take. I assume that I will have a job offer next week at ANC as production assistant. I had my interview last Thursday and the HR person said I was up for my last interview with one of the ANC Heads. The pay is way lower than Coastal, the job will be very demanding and one of my friends, who was a PA before said that you will have to work extra hard if you want to be promoted. And have I said that the job also has NO benefits for a year. It sounds so easy to decide right? Syempre mag Coastal na ako.

BUT

It's so hard for me to decide. I have always wanted to work for a News Organization way back in high school pa lang. I decided to take up Communications when I was in Sophomore year of high school. All of the schools I applied for- DLSU, UP, UST and ADMU- lahat sila Communication courses ang sinulat kong course. I really wanted to be a broadcast journalist someday and an investigative journalist as well. And the only way to reach that dream is to start from the bottom- which is a PA. The problem now is should I go with what I've always wanted or do what is practical?

My Coastal friends all told me to think about it. They told me na mag ipon muna before pursuing what you want. Practicality, choose Coastal kasi I could easily get 25k a month(and that's just a starting). But in my heart, iba ang sinisigaw (hehe, sorry for the melodramatic tone). Pero seriously, I really don't know what to do. Should I follow my heart or think about practicality muna?

Discernment needed.
Prayers needed.
