woes and more woes
April's looming nearer, leaving me just a few months to get my wits together and think (or plan) about what I want to do after graduating. As per usual, I'm anxious and a bit fearful. There are so many things that I want to do and try out but I'm not so sure if my parents would be okay with my plans. First off, I am quite adverse to the idea of working:the routinary way of getting to work,the nine to five pace,dealing with the same people for years, doing the same thing (in different projects) for months or years... It just doesn't appeal to me. I know one might say that my view of working life is a bit exaggerated or something but I've had my internship last summer and sad to say that was what I felt during my two-month stay. If you ask me, I'd rather study my whole life away than work. Or maybe work, but not in the corporate setting. I want a job that allows me to move from places, do field work, basically travel. I don't want to be coop up. Which is why I guess I should have thought about things more when I took Computer Science as a major... talk about wrong move. Not that I hate CS, it's just that the life that CS offers me, as I "foresee" it is a bit contradicting to what I want my life to be. Dear lord, this sucks...
SO, basically, what I've thought of as my escape plan from the boring life is to enter another field. Option 1 is to take up Law. Yes, law, as in become a lawyer. Sounds a bit far-fetched from CS but it's something that I've always wanted to do and I guess now can be my chance to pursue it.
Option 2 is to take study again, this time get a masters degree, but not in CS. Something like international studies. Again, far from CS but basically it's what I meant when I said another field. Another field totally far from CS. I know it sounds stupid to just turn away from CS field but I just want to list down my options and weigh what option attracts me most. If all else fails (option1 and 2) I still have Option 3 which is basically try working. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.
