More often than not, young students are taught to believe that they must go to a prestigious university to obtain a Bachelor’s degree or higher in order to have a fulfilling and satisfying career.

Students spend so much time working towards a specific career that some of us will end up sticking with the unhappiness that we feel towards that career just because we spent so much time and money on that degree. It’s like buying a ticket for the wrong movie. Somehow you mix up the titles for a movie you want to see and one you don’t. If exchanging that wrong ticket isn’t an option, wouldn’t you rather sit through that movie and hope it entertains you rather than wasting the money by throwing that ticket away?

Personal interests are what make me happy and want to grow as a person. Some of my interests include chemistry, physics, math, technology, and people.
