| In Hong Kong, you are just fine if you are a lawyer, AO, doctor, businessman, salesman ...
But somehow i have to defend my human rights work.
While my resistance to businesses has reduced lately (I'm taking
investment class and tutoring management stuff these days), I
still find human rights work pretty enjoyable.
People's concerns are:
i) it's very political (and in hong kong, its a crime in itself to be political);
ii) i earn little in an NGO (esp., business friends said HKU grad with 1st hon can get well-paid business job blablabla).
For i), yes i agree. basically, everything that has to do with
government is political. i agree some political acts are pretty ugly,
but i can convince what my organization does (and many other political
acts) is moral enough.
i'm also thinking about ii) actually... and well, some NGOs pay more than others. mine is not very very bad...
Enjoyable -
I wouldn't like it if it is a purely political job. The way we advocate
is pretty radical in some people's eyes (again, radical is not a bad
word in my dictionary), but for me, it's mostly motivated by feelings, which
are recognized by moral principles and/or human rights standards. I
feel so sad and angry when knowing people being knocked up for
criticizing the governemnt peacefully. People's homes got destroyed at
3am for refusing undercompensated/ not-compensated evictions!! Then we
frame our legal/moral arguments aganst the abuses. To sum up, work is
enjoyable when we try to help victims in human rights
violations fight for justice.
There isn't a high success rate though
