Question:

“After finishing high school, what particular discipline or field of study would you like to take in
your college education?”

Answer:

Our major accomplishment is completing high school. We students, from kindergarten through
the 12th grade, do spend a lot of time in school. Our days had been planned and devoted to learning;
now we must decide what to do with our lives after high school and how to succeed without our
parents.

At a glance, many career paths can lead to a happy and meaningful life. In high school, I realized
that the topics I liked the most—though they varied little—were the ones that would help me pursue my
ideal career. I never forced myself to "like" subjects that bored me, but I did put effort into them
anyhow to avoid feeling guilty about neglecting them. I would regularly write down my goals and
interests, which helped me to quickly understand who I am and realize that I wouldn't be happy working
in a job that would make me wealthy while compromising countless smiles.

I observed that some of my acquaintances spent their final years of education figuring out what
professional routes would lead to the "greatest" positions and the highest salaries. They then made
decisions that were inappropriate for their underlying situations. It’s like, they fired a bullet into the dark
out of a panicked fear of squeezing the trigger with their eyes open. But in the end, it's us who will still
decide our fate. However, making mistakes when picking a career path is extremely common and
completely acceptable because the mistake is a teacher meant to point you in the direction of what is
"correct" for you.

I like to think of life as "a question of personal preference," to put it briefly.

So, when the time comes that I will enter college, I’ll choose a BS in Information Technology
since I’ve been studying ICT as my chosen course in Senior High.

I acknowledge that selecting the ideal course or a job path after school can be a difficult task,
particularly with the variety of course options. It's been suggested or likely a joke that having too many
alternatives can lead to "choice paralysis". And the best route to take is to conduct both online and
offline studies before deciding on your post-high school career alternatives. And once we've made the
choice, put in a lot of effort to make it a success- our ideal career in the future.
