Since I left my job, since I stopped preparing for job interviews, such questions and their answers had disappeared from the horizons. Last week, they came back to my life, in another language.
First thing they teach you in a language class, is to introduce yourself, your name, profession, age, family status, hobbies etc..
I wondered if I should say that I'm a homemaker, just that.
But the fact is, I could not! First of all, I didn't know the German word for homemaker.
Secondly I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'm just a homemaker. So I answered that I'm an engineer by profession.
Ich bin ingineerin von beroof.
I've been trying to tackle the ego, when I meet people I try not to advertise that I once had a well paid job. But deep inside, I'm still insecure, there's always this struggle to not to be labelled a housewife.
Why? Sometimes even I wonder. Why shouldn't I just say that I'm a housewife and be happy about it? Why do I still say that I left my job to take care of son?
I guess ego is not an easy thing to burst off!
I'm still trying to figure out the real answers of those question..
