Knowing your goal
The other day, we had a presentation in class, and one of the student was talking about how he wanted to work in marketing, but not in hotel.
There are so many things funny about going back to school. It is fun when you sit next to a bunch of guys in the computer lab, and hearing them talk about "masturbation" (Ooh, that's a BIG word ;-), or they just ask each other which porno or games site-"can I see?". I laughed and turned to the guy next to me "hey, I am here, guys", they just bursted into laughters and appologied (probably realised that they were not alone).
I thought I was quite old compare to other students in my class, but there are some Chinese girls who are 30 something, but I guess their physical appearances and reactions are very much than what I expected for their age (not that I am much younger, but still the more years you go through life, it should at least show through your behaviours, no?). For instance, one of them was opening the professor's notes to copy the corrections of problems when he was not there (do you expect that from a 33 years old?, not talking about cheating but at least a degree of respect someone's private stuffs). So, I said "What are you doing? cheating?", haft meant it, haft joked. She said "No, I just wanted to copy the answer of the problems in advance", "That's called cheating, unless there is another definition of cheating that I didn't know" I said.
Anyway, all that was explained how difference it is when we went to school before, and now. One of the advantage is that at least you know what you want, expect, and how you plan to reach it. I don't think I will go to a hotel school, get my degree and decide that it is finance that I want? And the guy was there for 4 years already, didn't he see that before. Then, he said "that's whyI decided to do a master, so I can work in marketing elsewhere". When I heard that, my mind was like "Wrong, wrong, wrong". I think master is likely to be a higher and more specific studies, a study that is done when you have got a few years of working experiences, and acquired better maturity, when you have a general knowledge about something, and then you decide to go into details in a specific field.
Doesn't matter, just my personal view, and I think having a bachelor background is good because it gives you a general info about economic, finance, accounting, marketing, mergers and acquisitions, statistics..etc. Then, after a few years working, you will figure out what you wanna do.
Am I just bull-shitting here? ;-) Maybe, but think about it, knowing your goal in life is not enough, pursuing it is ultimate!
BTW, again we should not ask "what if", just make decisions because we can't never avoid risk, check this out ;-) Click here
