A year of no blog I stopped blogging for about a year and never did have the intention to come back. So... What made me come back now? My friend, Alex, was talking to me about blogs and I mentioned that I used to write casually on this page. He bugged me for my URL and so I began to walk down the memory lane of this page together with him. My year of hiatus from the blogosphere was filled with ups and downs. Well biggest emotional event for me was the ending of my previous relationship (which I have to add, definitely more of a blessing in disguise). Was really sad for a while and I will probably blog about it one day. As of now I'm definitely happier with life, more fulfilled and satisfied in many ways. My last post was about me being 'lost in life' and so I shall begin my trail of words with an update of that. How did I end up choosing the 'right' degree for myself? I took a little bit longer than expected to make up my mind on this point of my life. I enrolled and withdrew (at the very last min) from the initial course 'logistics and supply chain management'. Ironically, the next semester, i went on to enroll in logistics and scm AGAIN. And as of now I'm pursuing it as my degree. How did I finally make up my mind? Honestly I don't have an exact answer for that. I guess this isn't just about getting a diploma, a degree or whatever in life. I really just thought about certain stuff and talked to quite a few (a lot) of people about it. I know many people didn't have a problem choosing their degree but I really have no idea why it was pretty tough for me. So here's what I basically did, for the people who face the same problem as me. 1) knowing what you DO NOT want I took business admin dip in SP (other courses were not choices for me) and so I was lucky enough to have a touch and go for most modules in business. I knew what I did not want and with that I managed to end up with 2 choices. My points on choosing what I want and not want is really mostly on what I like doing and not. I rather not deal with numbers so accounting, stats, finances and all those are a sure no for me. 2) knowing more about your choices I was really deciding on marketing or logistics. Both of these choices were also my elective which I chose in the second year of my diploma. I talked to people who we're working and knew more about both sides and options in the field in the future. However it's impt to keep in mind that different people will always have different perspective in life and therefore always listen to others but not follow blindly 3) knowing what you WANT Not in terms of the degree course itself but rather the way you want your life to be in which your future school, work or career may affect you. By now I know many of you may already think 'omg she's so kiasu about her life' Yes I absolutely agree as I have said in my previous post I really do not wish to waste my time and efforts in studying something that may not be of use to me in my future as much as I can. I know one thing is that I really hope I won't be desk bound and there are certain jobs that can ensure that your life will be desk bound, isn't it? Cross that off your list! 4) experience! I was lucky enough to have interned in a marketing dept and I was NOT happy there. It could have been a one company thing but that really did scare me and with that, I really just kind of got turned off by the idea of working in marketing. If you don't have any experience in the area in which you think you may be interested in, start your semester late and go get a job related to that industry to somehow know a little more about it maybe? 4) being realistic This is the point that made me pick logistics over marketing. I'm definitely not implying that logistics is definitely a better choice or that it's a more useful course. Don't misunderstand me but it's always good to be realistic to yourself in the choices you pick that may affect you in the future. A lot of people around me told me that I was very much suited for marketing and even my relatives and mum wanted me to pick marketing. But this choice is yours to make and your life in future is yours to face. You can switch courses or jobs in time to come but why waste time? I would say that there may have been a lot of factors that influenced me along the way to choose my degree but I guess these 4 points will be what I use to summarize my journey on picking the course. I can't tell if it's the right or wrong choice and I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to tell. With that I shall say a temporary goodbye to all and good luck! |
