We have stuck in a dilemma: what to choose as our final major? As the day to submit our choice is coming soon, the main topic among group 8 becomes relevant to major selection. “What course will you choose, Elfin?” “Oh, I am puzzled now. Mechanical engineering and civil engineering both seem interesting, I cannot figure out which I prefer now. If I still can’t decide, I will go for common engineering.” The same feeling came to my mind after hearing these words.
I have been hesitated for a long time about ChE (chemical engineering) and Sts (statistics). My preliminary thought was choosing ChE, as chemistry is my favorite subject in senior high. However, after seeking for advice from seniors and parents, I perplexed. One of my seniors majoring in ChE indicated that ChE wasn’t as mystical as I thought. “You may find chemistry interesting in high school, right? I went for ChE also because I was fond of chemistry. But things weren’t as you considered. Many glossaries to memorize, many Singaporeans to compete with, it would be really tough especially for girls.” My parents were also grudging to my inclination of ChE, for that they thought the working condition might be arduous and bad for health. “Why not choose Sts? In Sts, you don’t need to strive hard to catch up with Singaporeans cause their mathematic foundation cannot match us. Besides, after graduation you can pursue a job in investment bank…”
Though they persuaded me to abandon ChE, I still want to continue entertaining myself with chemistry’s company. This belief was more confirmed after I heard George’s oral report last Wednesday. I couldn’t deny that I was impressed by his determination. In his report, he declared that however tough it would be, he would go for life science without regrets. I respected him for his persistence and what he said inspired me. I decide, after his report, to pursue what I really want, even no one stand by my side.
Totally agree with you. Actually I think the major should be chose by your interest. Hmm, it's very important to study the things you like. I also are very confuesd about my major before. But after the fail of the first test of Math and Cp, I detemine to study EE. How about the AM? I thought about it before, but I gave up that idea because I think it is not very hard and I cannot feel much pressure compared with EE.
ReplyDeleteSo don't afraid it will be very hard. For your interest, keep going.
Everyone emphasize interest in decision making. I think no one fully satisfy with their own choice they made first. So it never hurt to be prepared about the challenges and doubts awaiting. Once the decision is made, never regret.
