From the time I chose to drop out of Engineering and decided to join Mass Communication, I have been receiving a lot of unwanted and unneeded advice from the so called adults. I have pretty much not taken stock of those advice.
But now it has become too much to bottle up. I'm gonna whine and complain for a bit, please bear with me. This is the only space i have left to vent my feelings. It has been more than 18 months since I have left engineering. In those 18 months, I was advised to learn a language or computer programming or stuff like that in which i have the least bit of interest.
Apparently these things will help me in my future if i dont get a good career through the mass communication degree. Dont people understand that i chose to drop out of engineering only because i felt that i could have a good future through mass communication? I dont need those "skills". I know that my skill lies in writing. That is why i want to be a print journo.
If i had continued my engineering course, people wouldnt have bothered to tell me to learn these skills. Why? Because apparently, if you have an engineering degree, your future is guaranteed to be good. I dont mean to brag, but right now, even before completing my degree, i have a part time job that pays me a very decent amount of money. And also, i have an assured job once i finish this degree (something which even most engineering students dont have).
Isnt that a good future? In fact, isnt this a good present? Im getting fed up with this primitive and conservative mindset. Life is ours, we live it our way.
