I’m totally stressed out with the idea of having to go through an application process all over again. I really have to start working on sorting through university websites and getting as much information I needed for my postgraduate studies. I still plan on taking a Computer Science-related course but not as generic as Computer Science per se.
I really have no qualms on taking a postgraduate degree here but the idea of taking it elsewhere is exciting and at the same time, helpful. I needed to feel independent in order for me to grow. Even though our family is dysfunctional, it is typical Filipino: the kids are dependent on their parents. I guess I suffer slightly from the Peter Pan syndrome. But this idea of studying abroad might help me realize that I am not getting any younger.
I like traveling as well and so the new environment will inspire me perhaps. Plus, no distractions. *stop thinking of them hot European men!*
I went to school today to sign my work contract as a research assistant. I’ll be getting a 5-digit pay. I’m thinking of saving it up for tuition. From the looks of the digits that I saw in university sites, grad school will require me to be 7-digit poorer (in Philippine Pesos). This is why I’m not asking for a car like a typical enthusiastic graduating student/debutant would do. But career opportunities will most likely increase, perhaps the pay for those will compensate and more for the loss. :3
I’m thinking of taking up IT training or a part-time job while I wait (schools abroad usually starts on a September). I want to do some photography as well. Haaaalp!
Please visit my deviantArt! I’m trying my best to finish some of the photos here.
PS. Hi, I need $15 to upgrade this WordPress account. Please be a generous person, madame/sir. :3
Nandyan naman lagi ang Medicine at Law hehehe!
Czarina Gonzalez M.D.
HAHAHA. I don’t waaaaaant! Though Medicine madali lang coz extended family runs a hospital. But noooo.
Wow, amazing! Research Assistant! And a 5 digit pay to boot! How cool is that?
Well, for me, post-grad subjects are a segway to more research and to professorship, basically a requirement if you want to be part of the academe. I know you’ve been told this before, but post-grad studies would not be of much use outside of the academe.
Still, a desire to take post-grads is uncommon. I wish you all the blessings in this endeavor!
I have plans on becoming a hot prof. XDDD
Ideally that is the case. But there are other reasons as well, like shifting careers or whatnot. The course I want to take is not offered here… the course is usually offered in Europe, USA, Australia. Kaya masaya.
