interest vs rice bowl

my cuz whos like 3months younger than me asked yesterday, 'so, what do you think should i pursue my interest or see market and carry on with the line im already in?". I said to him, "At our age its important to look for stability FIRST, look for something that will secure you..."

well, that was what happened to me but im glad im into nursing cos its part interest part 'iron rice bowl'. i will still pursue my interests, my close ones knows what it is........but for now, being alone and independent i have to aim and make sure that 'iron rice bowl' is in my hands first.
