/huuuuuuugs

You can take a master's degree if you want. =D And I'm sure you can do lots of things, like teach people what schizophrenia really is and that psychology is not about reading minds. XD That's what advising is for too, ahahaha. I just walk up to Sir del Pilar and go SIRRRRR MY LIFE WHAT DO I DO WITH IT.

/is cheap too orz money what is it

/hugs!

Thing is, I don't think I really want to pursue a master's degree. Am I lazy in thinking that four years of college is enough? Maybe my perspective will change if I actually get a job, but for now, that's what I'm thinking. I guess I could always pin my hopes on the coming Psych board exams. I'm not really keen on trying to become a Psych teacher, either. They say that there are a lot of roads open for Psych majors, but I can't seem to find one that I'm content with.

I guess I could try to go to Ma'am Ventura next advising. I feel like I'm just waiting for someone to tell me what to do next, though. It was easy in elementary and high school since all you had to do was learn enough to move onto the next level, but now what?

No, you're not lazy, maybe you've got a different calling besides getting a master's. And yeah, you could take the board exams. Anyway, I'm sure you'll find the road you're happy with, and Ma'am Ventura can help you with it. I guess it depends on what you love doing and what you're willing to do for possibly the rest of your life.

...actually yeah I miss elem and high school now, suddenly. o_o

I pretty much like this entry - too many musings and what ifs and reasonable questions.

I'm pretty sure you can go a long way on life - you can take a Master's degree or take up Law if you want. And even with just a bachelor's degree in Psychology, you can do a lot of things... like perhaps, being an HR and try to separate the work-capable guys from the brats, or at least be a psychologist and talk to suicide-prone people grumbles about my last post. And don't worry about apathy; I'm more apathetic than you are, I'm not really into all these issues that are plaguing our dear land that is the Philippines.

Sometimes it pays to muse and think on what you can possibly do. I'm sure that you will find a career path that will best suit you. These little musings can pave the way, we never know. Cliche as it may sound, but yes, the little things do matter in order to create something big and substantial.

I tend to ramble a lot, but not all of those thoughts make their way here. How I'd love to be able to write my thoughts every single time! I have my journal, but that's mostly reserved for my dreams nowadays.

I don't really have the motivation to pursue a Master's degree right now, and Law terrifies me. There's always the HR route, the most plausible one but one that my mother thinks will be tough based on her old office experiences (though she thinks I can do it; at least that makes one of us). The thing about Psych degrees is that you can't practice without at least a Master's degree, or taking the board exam that will come in a couple of years at best.

My mother insists that I watch the news more. I do want to, but just looking at the issues - heck, even just going outside is kind of depressing. ._.

I'll continue collecting these thoughts. Hopefully they'll help me find something I can enjoy doing and will contribute to the betterment of the country. \o/

Ah, that makes two of us - I'm terrified of Law too. I'm terrified of having to face a lot of exams, read a lot of things; having to take the bar exam and having to defend clients regardless of whether they're innocent or not. And of course, there's that matter of danger if you ever get involved with someone big.

I agree about the news being depressing. Sometimes I even think if we can pull out of this, but I believe there's still hope right here, cliche or not.
