Lying in Bed :(

February 11, 2013

As the tittle quite explicitly says so, I'm lying in bed as I can't go to sleep. Then again it's only 8.49 right now so I figured I'd blog.

It's almost Valentines day. For all single people out there, this must suck. I feel you. Laughs. Especially when 'couple and 'people in love' act so sappy and annoying around you. Doesn't it make you feel that if you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend then life is not worth living? It's ridiculous.

Anyways, moving on. In my previous post regarding university, I mentioned I will explain my chosen major. So here it goes:

For a whole now, my parents, or more so, my mother, has been convincing me to do Economics and Finance at university. Although I don't mind studying Economics and Finance, my heart was always set on something like Politics or International Relations. And I would have done what I wanted to do. However, what my mum (and dad and internet) had to say did actually make more sense.

Here are the reasons why I am choosing to read Economics and Finance at University:

1. With this major, there will be more job opportunities. I could work in Banks, Multinationals, the Public Sector, Ngo's, etc. The sky is the limit. I could also write about the economy. Laughs again. I could also go into investment as I would have learnt all the skills necessary for making smart choices.

2. If I choose to do International Relations, my only option is to work in the Embassy or Government. For working in the government, I would need to be fluent in Thai, which I am not, so that is out of the question. As for the embassy option, it takes a while to rise up the rank. To have more opportunities like working in the UN, I would have need to do Masters because a Bachelors degree is not enough.

3. That brings me to my next point.I can always do Masters in International Relations, can't I? And that would be impressive.

That's it for today people.

Will be back soon,
