are you the one who choose what course are you taking in college? or your friends influenced you? or your parents want that course for you? if you're not the one who chose your course, did you regret it? do you think you'll be much happier if you choose other profession?my first course is chemical engineering, not because of anyone influenced me, but because i really love chemistry, but when i failed one of the major subject, i thought it's not for me so i jumped to another course which is industrial engineering. it's also hard, but i didn't regret that i transfer. i'm a graduating student now, and i'm already working, not as an industrial engineering, but when i finished, i'll work as an industrial engineering in the future.

i'm lucky that my parents gave us the liberty to choose the course to take. well, not entirely. there a courses they don't want us to take. we can take any course aside from those. i really would love to take theater arts in UP but that's one of the courses forbidden, as well as psychology. and then a new course (then) came up and i'm really interested. thus, i took up computer engineering. i really love this course and i knew it when i was right and was happy when i was starting to look for a suitable college for me.. and when i started to write very very basic programs, there's this shiver that's running up and down my spine! so, i don't regret anything.. i still ask what if.. but all the same, no regrets here.

it is good news that you have found the right course for you, barnkinney. if you still have time, take also a 6-month course on a computer technician's course. it is relatively easy and will help you in maintaining your hardware in tip top shape. this will be a good option to consider soon after graduation.

I did not choose the course I took during college because my parents choose the course I will take. Actually, I’m not happy with the course I took that’s why I’m not successful professionally. After practicing my career for ten years I decided to change a career path which I love most. It’s really hard to push yourself for something you don’t like and a guess my parents realized that I’m not really happy so they gave me their blessings to go and follow my dreams where I will be happy and fulfilled.

Being a business minded person i opt to take up Bachelor of Science major in Accountancy for in my mind at that time it would be a useful course especially im planning to have a business on my own in the future. If given the chance and capital to have a business then ill have to grab the opportunity.So, now that i have accomplished it inspite of those rough times but i was able to survive and have made it without a failing grades:DBut i was hurt when i had a 75 a passing grade..i cried because in my whole as a student its my first time to have that kind of grade but what has done is done..honestly, i had a hard time on my major subjects since i was a working scholar and an average learner to consider but though just hit the passing mark but happy coz at least i never failed.At present im working in accounting department and happy to know that i was able to used the course im taking in college for there are some graduates who grabbed work not related to their course in order to work and earned a living.

I have chose and might as well be graduating from the course that I decided on taking. I really like to draw but, I gave it some thought and decided that I want to be able to do interesting stories first so I took the course that I'd be finishing. By the time I realized it, I got to get back at drawing again since I have done so much writing, I'm back at scratch. I really wanted to do comics. No regrets however, I have met interesting people and quite enjoyed my studies with them

I picked my courses - Economics-Political Science. When I started working, and would like to prepare myself for a Management role, I took Management. When I decided to move up the corporate ladder, I started my MBA. I would like to increase my English proficiency since I am working in a call center, so, my next stop is AB English or AB Education Major in English.

My dad picked my course for me. I actually passed one entrance exam for a university where I will be a full-time scholar, full tuition, with lodging, books, and allowance. I turned it down after sweating heavily on that tough exam because suddenly I don't wanna be separated from my Mom, suddenly I don't wanna be a doctor anymore, suddenly I realized I'm bad in memorization... My dad got furious about my decesion and I don't blame him, who won't be? So he punsihed me by picking up the course as well as the university for me. Well, I hated it but it turned out good anyway. I love Mathematics and Computer Engineering is full of numbers. I graduated and I'm working as Software Engineer now and I owe it to my dad...
