Career Choices
While we were eating dinner my dad told me what happened at Sci. Tech. when he picked up our UPCAT Simulations results. There was a female teacher there, and by the descriptions my dad said, she was Ma'am Dewmaine. :)) Wooooo! The teachers there asked dad what course I'm planning to take, and they said I should take Medicine. WAIT, WHAT? They must have gotten the person wrong :)) And then when my dad told them I'll be taking ECE, they were like, "Oh! That's a good choice, she'll get rich with that!" \m/ Oh yes. Now I'm scared though, I hope I'll be able to cope up with that through the years . . . In UP Diliman . . . Ahem . . .
And then my cousin called the wife of one of our uncles. And then SHE talked to ME. She asked me what course I'm going to take, and I said ECE. She asked if I didn't want Medicine and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOO. No way, Jose, no friggin' way." Well yeah, I guess doctors can become really rich, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle surgeries very well. My hands are shaky and that's not good in surgical operations. What if I kill the patient? Instead of gaining more money, I lost my own. Plus I don't really like seeing blood. Or any other fluids coming out of someone's body -___-
Gad that paragraph was getting too sick :)) I'm sorry, don't read that. But you do get my point. You could say I'm hands-on, but only when it comes to inanimate objects. Not humans or any other living things. That's why I admire Ate Alayne and all other peeps who want to be doctors . . . Yayaman kayo diyan. x]
So I filled up my UPCAT Form 1 last night and it asked me my top 2 choices for my campus and courses in each campus. ECE is of course my first choice in Diliman, and Anthropology second. Why? This is a shallow reason, but it's because of Bones. The show? You don't know it? Poor you. It's such a trivial show! Anyway, I got fascinated with anthropology since I first watched it. You don't necessarily get to solve murders but you get to do something as equally, if not more fulfilling as that - discover the wonders of history. And I have always been fascinated by history, even if my AP grades disprove that. How amazing would it be to find an undiscovered animal that had lived on earth years ago and figure out how it had become extinct? Or even define structures of an ancient human being that we don't have anymore today?
There are actually a lot of branches of anthropology, and in Bones's case, it's
forensic anthropology. I think it's a lot more complex since murdered bodies have become mutilated by the murderer. But that field of practice is more recognized in the States, though. BUT STILL. I think being an anthropologist is a cool job. At first I was kind of hesitant about it when I put it as my second choice, and then I saw it: Ate Nikki's tweet. She's taking anthropology in UP Diliman! \m/ There are only 8 of them taking that course :)) Is that cool or what? B-) So you might want to try anthropology too. It's a cool course! Especially if you're interested in history and science. ^__^
