Decisions, decisions. I know I'm not in a hurry to make them, but it still irritates me that I can't make up my mind nonetheless. If I go to Aussie, it's a Degree in Broadcasting or Performing Arts (theatre/filming).. If I go to Japan, I'm going to take up language related courses. Both are tough.. and after I graduate, the amount of jobs I can get honestly aren't many. Both require me to be very good at what I'm doing and be one of the top in my field in order to even get somewhere. But what can I do? It's my passion. I don't want to live a boring life, I want to follow my heart, not my wallet. So I guess the price to pay for being happy is that I have to work harder. I'll mentally prepare myself for that.
Right now to be honest, I'm leaning more towards Linguistics in Tokyo Sophia Uni because after some consideration, I realised that majoring in TV and Radio broadcasting won't teach me how to speak better will it? It teaches me the technical aspects, which Mass Comm already did. I already know how to operate all the equipment, I know recording, editing etc... So why would I need to study the same thing all over again?
Besides, the languages have always been my biggest interest so linguistics seems like a good choice. When I saw that NTU offered linguistics, I was sooooo excited. Of course I applied, but obviously with my horrigible grades, I didn't get in :( I'm hoping linguistics will help me get a job in the media as well because broadcast media is still the area I'd want to work in the most =/ If they require a degree in broadcasting, I'd be screwed... and all I can be is a translator or teacher. Or maybe even work as a small office staff doing saikang and translating stuff in a Japanese MNC based in Singapore T_T
Okay after I've said all that, I guess I'm not just LEANING towards linguistics. But instead I'm super super into it haha. It's just my common sense telling me to think twice. I'm a bit worried about how recognised a degree from Sophia would be.. I don't want to spend so much time and money on a worthless degree really. I tell you, if I were rich, I wouldn't even hesitate. I'd just keep studying in different countries and learn many many different kinds of languages. That has been my dream since secondary school. I know it sounds weird, but I think "collecting" languages as if its a hobby is really fun :P Plus, I get to travel to many places, which is also another dream of mine. Ahhh, it would be so nice to just travel all over the world, learning the different cultures and languages, mixing with the natives and experiencing different ways of life *A*
*Snaps back to reality* ....... I'm not rich. And I think my family would kinda oppose to that, since they wouldn't be able to locate me haha. If only I could just not care about a thing in the world and do what I want.
