After two years working in the same company after graduating college, I started to realize that I didn't plan anything when I was still a college student. Actually I planned what course to get but unfortunately because of my laziness I didn't qualified for that course because of my grade. I did choose the course that I graduated because of it has a computer subject which now I forgot what they have called that. Now I realized that I should take a course that my skills and hobbies could really be of use, I wished that I did take an advertising or a multimedia arts course when I was still studying. I know that it's not to late for me to take that course, but I'm having a problem how could I study again if I'm supporting my family. My brother has graduated in college and is now reviewing for his licensure exam in chemistry I hope that he would pass. I'm planning to study again while working and try to find a new job that could pay higher salary to support my studies. I don't know if I could still take a scholarship because I am already working. But this is my goal for now stay and wait for my turn again. I wish to study the course that I wanted and have a job that I wanted.

My mother always told me that if you don't study hard,you will never get a satisfied job.And I don't think so. But now I see,someone can have a great job like I imagine,But it's so less.So I will study hard.If you can study a subject,you will win! wish you success!

Well, you should wait for your turn again.I am just like you.I wanted to study again and I will make it better next time but I do not have money to support my studies anymore no matter what I do.That is why I am just reading lots of books and I am joining free courses online.Well, you could also do that.

Its been 5 years since I passed out of college. But when i see my friends post our college pics, my heart goes out with it back to those wonderful days. i have always heard during my college days that you can forget anything, but your college days. and once you are out of college, you are gonna miss it like anything. But i never thought it would b so true. Whenever I go to my hometown, i make it a point to visit my college.

Hey i can understand the situation u are going through. Well yes a lot of thoughts might be going through your mind at this point of time. I think u should continue to study while working which i know is a bit difficult thing. I am sure with the passion and dedication u have, u will for sure achieve your goals and would support your family very well and live your dreams as well. Just have patience and wait for the right moment and i am sure things would definitely change in your life. My best wishes are with you. What say?

oh oh, this is happening to many students and because they are ignorant when in college and we realize it later when out there in the world. I wish you get any kind of scholarship to study what you want and work in the field that you desire. It is not late and you can do it. Never give up your dreams. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I can totally related to this. Being graduated from the course that I don't really like and worked for almost 3 years in the field which is not my passion. I can say that I miss those college life, if only I take arts course like my passion have. I still doing arts now as a side hobby in weekend....but I feel I spent my life away doing some job that I don't like....That's my dillema because I'm the one who's supporting my family as my brother has an autism (my brother can't work)...
