what should i do after i graduate?

 

this question has been bothering me for the longest time ever. not to say that’s not a good thing considering i’ll be graduating in 3 months time.

 

i know the areas i’m interested in: public relations, copywriting, and journalism.

 

i’ve tried my hand at the first two in the real corporate world, the third, only as a student.

 

so in order to experience life as a "real" journalist, i have and am going to continue applying for internship positions in magazines/lifestyle publications.  

 

the real problem at hand though, is what do i want to do in university?

 

my parents sure as hell can’t afford to send me abroad so i’m stuck with ntu and nus. (this is assuming my g.p.a actually qualifies me for univerisity. and yes, i left out smu cause i just don’t like it.)

 

if i *touch wood* don’t manage to get into university, i’m gonna work my ass off first then save up for my private studies.

 

if i do get into uni, do i:

a. do mass comm since i get 1.5 years shaved off?

b. take up english literature since i have interest in the english language?

c. erm. marketing? i don’t mind learning and trying out new stuff.

d. i don’t know liao. recommend me courses!

 

or should i just plunge headalong into the rat race and work experience instead of education to my advantage? 

 

i know, i’m a lost child. emoticon
