Plan B


Although I have yet to complete my studies in Environmental Science, I've always had a nagging thought in the back of my head that just maybe....just maybe I would not be able to find a job here in Malaysia when I get back. Yes, Malaysians are becoming more environmentally conscious but we're still not quite at that level where waste management/disposal and by-products of manufacturing are taken as a serious threat to our health and the environment. Therefore, if I cannot find a good job when the time comes, I would need to have a backup plan to make a living.
Like most women, I love jewellery but only very recently, did I take a deeper interest in the types of jewellery in the market and to my disappointment, the quality and designs available are not what I am looking for. Being one who likes craftwork, someone gave me a book on beading/jewellery making and from then onwards, I looked for opportunities to start making jewellery. Sourcing the materials here in Malaysia is no easy task as what is currently availabe in the market is expensive, of poor quality and of little variety.

So, if I ever need to start Plan B, which will be my jewellery making and selling business, I would need good business partners who would back me up. But I hope it will not come to that stage, for now anyway. I still want to stick to my original plan and Plan B is just another one of those things I think about when I my mind gets too active.

If you could get a job, you can also make some jewellery to sell to make some extra income. + since you are good at it too. I will be your first costomer. I fully support! :D
