RE: Amid much inner turmoil, I am RETURNING to SCHOOL . . . At 34 years old.
@queenmountain, this is two days late but if it helps
I also asked my mom the same question about which course to follow when I entered the university at 15 , not because I'm a genius - just because I went to school early and the Philippine education is just different from the US.
She told me to think of three things that would help me decide which major to take. I was choosing between fine arts, pathology and teaching.
She told me to think about these three things..
Would that land me a sure job?
Is that sort of job necessary where ever I go - abroad or just in the PH?
Would that job still be necessary till I get to be 75 cause back then that was the age for retiring.
I chose teaching .. even though my first love was pathology. I fell in love with what I'm doing now - I think that even if I get rich and won't have to work later, I'll still be doing it even as a volunteer in Laos.
I saw that chose art ... these days - it seems to be the trend so you'll never know where it could get you. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice. I think that teaching could be very rewarding for a career. What subject do you teach? I like the idea of going for english/art and attaching a teaching credential to those subjects.
@queenmountain - english indeed...
actually if you just take a TESL/ IELTS it could land you a job in South Korea some summer or spring vaca.. then maybe you could save to invest in crypto currency , stock at the same time pay your study loan.
Right on, I will look into that!
I wish you luck - plenty of offers in Linked in ;)
