Im really in a dilemma rite now...
Next week gonna start new semester ady...and i still duno whether to choose mass com or continue my marketing. Im already in degree. But, im starting to hesitate whether i hv made the rite choice.
Today, my dad suddenly told me not to change course. He knows tat my interest is actuali towards mass com wan~but he said that today's world or even in the future, marketing is important to any industry. Although what he says is true. But still. Mass com is my interest. However, when i think carefully and ask myself, mass com does not have much to contribute to the industry, but marketing, its vice verse. My dad said that if i study marketing, even though if i graduated, i still can go into mass com industry. The reason im in Uni is to get that piece of 'golden ticket'. And that precious piece of paper that u hold is to tell everone that ur a graduate. Thats all. Fullstop. The real challenge is when u start ur working life. And at the age of 55, that is when ur gonna graduate.
I noe that my dad would want to give the best to his daughter.
He noes what would be the best job for the business industry...
He noes what would be the best job that would lead to a good future,(in terms of income, contibution, what kind of people would employees seek for and so fouth...)
He is the person that has overcome all the ups and downs in life...
He has gone through and faced many kinds of problems, situations, challenges, etc.........
Therefore, he noes what's best...
But doesn't people live within their interests??
Or.....
they live within the society of where they could contribute and benefit the most??
So, interest or contribution and benefits??
Mass com or Marketing??
Haiz......
Haiz......
Frustruation, sadness and dilemma, all in one. Fullstop.

Hey Yan Ling,
I would say what your dad said is perfectly correct. Being a uni graduate means nothing actually. It only tells the people outside that you have been to university and perhaps in terms of mentality, thinking and analyzing skills, we may be better.Thats all. Full stop.
The real challenge is when we come out to the society, there is when you will encounter the real *problems*.
In terms of what course to choose. I cannot disagree with your dad that marketing is in high demand, but then you will only enjoy when you have interest in marketing. Bear this in mind, everyone can sell, but not everyone can sell well. So not everyone is suitable in marketing.
But then once again, as what your dad has suggested. You can study marketing first, then can still look for a job in the mass com industry.
If I were you. I may follow your dad advise. Seriously, to survive in the society, is so damn not easy.
Wish you all the best ya. =D
