Whats The Best Course For You?

[RONALD MORENO]

I Had Been A Ceramics Engineering Student Before In Msu-iit(iligan City). But I Transfered At Mindanao Polytechnic State College(cagayan De Oro City), And Im Taking Up Electronics And Communications Engineering Rightnow.
Dati Gusto Ko Talaga Mag Nursing O Kayay Mag Accounting, Pero Ngayon Ay Napamahal Na Ako Sa Course. I Beleive That This Is Really The Best Course!
Kayo,whats The Best Course For You?

[samantha_jones]

Architecture!!! :D

[atenean_blooded]

I'm a management major. I'd be really happy in philosophy, political science, or interdisciplinary studies, though.

[DarkMatrix01]

Before i am in the Computer and Management area...

Now i am in Culinary and Hotel Management.

This is the best for me!

[narutrix]

if i were a student again... and if i already knew what i know right now, i would have chosen a different college course.... perhaps nursing..kasi in demand cia abroad and i really want to earn enough para guminhawa naman ang aking pamilya...

i graduated ece with good grades, passed the board exam..but i cant get a decent job aside from call center... kulang talaga ang natutunan ko sa school...

hmmm... i think eto ang ilan sa mga dapat natutunan ko na dati pa lalo n sa ECE...

1. bumili ng ece board exam reviewers kahit 1st yr k palang... why? kasi nanduon ang mga shortcuts at minsan mas maganda pa ang dicussion kaysa sa mga teacher. and minsan dito sila kumukuha ng exams...

2. piliin mo na ang linya mo...either electronics, software, or networking

software---> (programming)java, c++, html, ASP... basta alamin mo yung ginagamit ng industry...

networking ---> win 2k, windows2003, CISCO (very important), IP routing, network security, wireless technology... or mas ok pati linux isama mo na rin..

most of this ay hindi naman tinuturo sa school, kung tinuturo naman sa school mo... dumikit k na sa teacher para maging apprentice k niya.... or kung ayaw mo naman merong institutions na nag tuturo nito with a fee...like meralco foundation....

******
conclusion....

patuloy p naman ang buhay at kung nagkamali ka mas importante na you learn from your mistakes.... and all is not lost.... besides i still have some tricks under my sleeve....hehehe

[xybert_22]

For me ECE cyepre.

Im taking up Electronics engineering specialized in Industrial Automation and Communications

Sa MIT ksi kapg 4th year ka na pipili ka ng specialization mo whether u will go to communications track, automation, microelectronics, power electronics, and CISCO as ur elective.

[iceflavah]

Med tech... yan best for me. pero *** kong alam na best course. depende shmpre sa tao. i also wanted to be a pilot nung bata pa ko. pero shmpre d yta bagay sa girl. hehe.. other choices ko before were bio and advertising. gulo noh? hehe.. pero mas enjoy **** ko sa medical course. exciting and angsaya. never ko yta naisip mag-law.. *** lang. :D

[Zion_PT]

Physical therapy...

easy work....laki pa sweldo

* kung sa US ka work!

[tidus1203]

Ako Business Management (Business Administration in other schools) kasi ito ang PINAKA-FLEXIBLE na course especially if you're gonna join the corporate world. Or if ever start a business.

[dreamboat1987]

Business Administration and Accountancy!

[kabitNIshaider]

Fine Arts, CA, HRM and Psychology

[.+ moks_mart +.]

ako nga, im still confused on what course to take up in college.

dati when i was still in my grade school years, maging pilot **** ang gusto ko, even though, my parents want me to take up medicine. ayoko **** maging doctor kc parang ang tagal-tagal ko pang gagraduate! hehe.. :D tapos ngaung HS, nalilito na ako kng magIT, accounting, business management or magnursing.. hehe! IT dahil tlgang adik ako sa PC tsaka naaaus ko *** mga bagay-bagay sa PC *** di ko **** **** alam kng pano. accounting or business management dahil feeling ko masaya pag business courses. hehe! nursing dahil lahat ng classmates ko un *** gusto. hehe! :glee: ewan ko bah.. ang gulo ko! :lol:

[totoolangnaman]

IMHO, one should study a course that will lead to a job that you will love. Someone once told me that if your job is something that you love doing, you won't "work" a day in your life.

You should also consider schools on a per-course basis, and not generalize that one school is superior just because you believe it is (no matter what people from La Salle, UP, or Ateneo believe, schools like UST, Mapua, PUP, etc, produce excellent graduates in the field of engineering, architecture, fine arts, etc).

Lastly, I believe that if you're the best at what you do (best doctor, nurse, chef, artist, martial arts instructor, programmer, analyst, manager, baker, designer, architect, potter, etc) people will seek out your services and hire you no matter where you studied or how you learned your craft.

[clawed_out]

comprehensive knitting

And I dreamt of being a pope.

Chemical Engineering. Siempre love your own wahehehe :D

[kyupayb]

the best ang bachelor of music !

iba talaga when passion drives you, sobrang sarap mag-aral ! hindi ka tatamarin .. dito, dapat in-born ka. hindi tulad ng mga formulas na pwedeng imemorize, di tulad ng mga titik na pwedeng pag-aralan! dito, kailangan, talent!

at pag nagsama-sama pa kayo sa iisang bubong, araw-araw may jamming ! pati prof nyo kasama, mapa-jazz, rock, ballad, classical o brodway ! ang buhay ng isang tuhay na musikero ay kay saya !!!

tapos yung Dean namin at ibang profs, pag namatay sila, sa LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI ililibing !! parang presidente diba? baket?? kasi NATIONAL ARTISTS sila! o, sa amin lang yan! wala nang ibang school na ganyan ..

hinding hindi ko ipagpapalit. mahal na mahal namin ito...

The UST Music Conservatory . --> undoubtly, the BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[attyatlast]

ano pa kung hindi ang pag aaral ng batas.

[herakleon]

syempre,, ang [B]Bachelor of Arts major in Asian Studies...

isang pamantasan lang sa Pilipinas ang nag-ooffer ng ganyang course sa undergrad... at yan ang Universidad ng Santo Tomas!

kung ang hilig mo ay ang pag-aaral ng mga kasaysayan, kultura, lipunan, pulitika, panitikan, pilosopiya at relihiyon ng iba't ibang mga bansa sa Asya... bueno,,, ang kursong ito ang nababagay sa mga katulad natin!!!!

[B] [U] Bachelor of Arts major in ASIAN STUDIES .

[flsfnoeraekadad]

My current course now is:

AB Economics - BSC Legal Management

But in two or three terms after I have succesfully shifted second majors it's going to be:

AB Economics - BSC Applied Corporate Management.

Double majors. Double job opportunities. Double chances of getting employed.

[feldsparring]

right now, it's science-related. and i'm not really complaining. just that i also have this side of me into the arts. if only there's a course that has a multidisciplinary approach and integrates the different branches of art, as well as cultural heritage. haha para kasing magkakaron ng ganong course.

[Ashlars]

I took up Journalism in college.

But if I had the time and money wasn't an issue, I'd love to study History, Philosophy, European Studies and Virology. I know walang course on viruses pero I'm just amazed at how these things work. :lol:

[student_01]

Bachelor of arts in Political Science with specializations in governance- University of santo tomas

[his_pet]

Information Technology =)

[br0m0thymoLbLuE]

Diba kung ano ang course mo yun ang the best sayo?

BS in Medical Technology
BS in Medicine
MS in Clinical Audiology

:)

[Altwegg]

BS in Medicine?

Anyway, I graduated with a degree in BS Biology. If you want to be a physician, I suggest you take Medical Technology or Physical Therapy as your premed course. Most subjects in Medicine have been touched in MT and PT so going through them in medical school is just like a refresher for you. If I were able to turn back time, I would've taken any of these two.

[tophe_17]

BS Civil Engineering-MS CE Major in Construction Engineering (BS-MS CECN)

*okay*

[purply_hazy]

BS Nursing

[br0m0thymoLbLuE]

BS in Medicine?

Doctor in Medicine, my mistake :)

[tidus1203]

Business or Finance for me

There is no doubt being the employer is the better alternative than just being the employee.

[gold_inhinhiero]

Syempre love your own!

In general, Engineering..
Still undecided, pwedeng ECE or ChE for me.. :)

Other best in my list (haha.. best nga eh, pero..)
Sige.. BS Molecular Biology, BS Microbiology and Doctor of Medicine .. yan din sana ang plan kong mga degrees kaya lang takot ako sa Cadaver (di nga ako makatulog pag nakakakita ng coffin, cadaver pa..)

[whistling hyde]

BS Physics and Philosophy.

Only Yale offers it, though. :D

[flsfnoeraekadad]

BS Physics and Philosophy.

May metaphysics dyan whistling hyde?

[gold_inhinhiero]

BS Physics and Philosophy.

Only Yale offers it, though.

Off-Topic: Locally, UST is my most favorite university. Internationally, my most favorite university is Yale.. I want to obtain my Master's and Doctor's degree there soon.. hope God will allow me.. :)

On-Topic: Additional Pala.. Isa ring good course for me is Architecture.. :)

[whistling hyde]

May metaphysics dyan whistling hyde?

Metaphysics as a single course, I don't think so. I believe Metaphysics is an umbrella for several other courses.

Click here (http://www.yale.edu/philos/undergraduate_courses.html) for the courses they offer. BS Phy and Philo majors are required 6 units of philosophy outside the prerequisites. You're free to choose.

:(

golden engineer,

I also my grades and ECs would kick-off. I want to apply for transfer.

I'd like to have my doctorate at Duke University if I can, or my undergrad if we can afford in the latter times. The D Connection. De La Salle and Duke. Yeheey!

[la_flash]

ECE still the best for me...

Ako gusto ko kasi mag-trabaho sa sony kaya either electrical o computer engineer.

Brutal ng math pag-electrical engineer ka.

[pale_pilsen]

from some random guy's blog, a bit long but worth reading : :)


I went to school with some of the smartest people in the world--people whose knowledge and insight would stun you regularly--but you wouldn't always know it. Maybe it was the guy who didn't know how to pump his own gas, or the girl whose monotone voice and paragraph-long questions made me want to jump off a bridge and stab myself on the way down (want to be doubly sure). I don't know.

But one of the stupidest things I heard thrown around was the question of which major would help get a job. It went something like this: "All the econ majors get jobs in consulting, so maybe I should do that..." (thousand-yard stare).

I'm so tired of hearing this that I am seriously considering walking a crocodile on a leash wherever I go and having him chomp off the arms of the stupid people who say this.

Your college is not a technical school. If you simply want a job, you can go to ITT Tech. Instead, I think college is about meeting interesting people, doing what's interesting to you, becoming very good at it, and marketing yourself.

What I'm saying is different than the old, conventional thinking about life ("Go to school, pick a safe major, get a good job, and be a cog in the machine for the rest of your life"). I even know some parents who insist their children get master's degrees. Why? "It looks good."

When senior year rolls around and people are looking for jobs, it's amusing to see the contradictions in what we believe and what our opportunities really are. For example, a funny but sad barrier people use on their own job hunt: "I'm an English major, so I can't apply to be an investment banker." No, the reason you can't be a banker is that you selected yourself out of the applicant pool based on your ignorant assumptions.

Your major isn't as important as you think. It's what you've done that distinguishes you.

I think the point of school is much more than to simply get some credentials, and it's certainly much more than to learn the stuff you do in class. In fact, ask your friends who graduated how much of their coursework they use on a daily basis. For almost every major, the answer is exactly the same: not much. Instead, college should ideally teach you how to think and give you a broad-based skill set that you can apply almost anywhere.

Priorities are important
When I was in school, my priorities were (in order)...
1. Friends
2. My own business stuff
3. Classes

Before you write me telling me that grades come first because your parents are paying $3895823523, please note that I agree--you have to get decent grades. No argument: If you have a 2.0 GPA, you're probably not getting a good job right out of college.

But I have a couple of things I want to talk about: First, grades are important for grad school and, to a limited extent, for your first job. After that, nobody gives a damn. Second--and this is my own personal opinion, of course--I'd rather get moderately good grades while having a social life and doing a bunch of interesting stuff, rather than focusing exclusively on school so I could get an A+. What's an A+? It's a letter and a character...on a piece of paper.

Plus, it's often prohibitively hard to get from a B- to an A. In other words, it's not too hard to get to an 85%, but getting from there to a 95% is really hard. If you can do it while managing your time, great (and frankly, most top students do). Is it worth it every time? No way.

Oh my god, Ramit!!! Are you suggesting we don't get the best grades we can?!?!?

No, but I like when you get really agitated like that. Of course everybody should try to get the best grades they can. But there's more to school than grades. And this is why I think that doing cool stuff that produces tangible results is really important. For example, do you have a portfolio of projects you've designed? Do you have a blog? Do you have a strong network of great people who can help you find the right job? Do you have articles you've written for different newspapers? What do you have besides a conventional, boring transcript to show what you did for the last 4 years?

I think I could probably learn 80% of my college career simply from reading the books. But the last 20%--the hardest and most valuable part--came from talking to people, bouncing ideas off them, doing my own startup stuff, and making a bunch of mistakes. And I did all of this in the relative safety of college, where the worst that can happen is you get a "-" next to one of the letter grades on your transcript.

I wrote about a similar thing in my article on greed and speed, where I said that if you build something valuable, the money will come. The same is true of jobs: If you do interesting work, have great friends, build a great network of supporters, and market yourself, the employers will come. In fact, if you're really good, instead of you seeking them out, they will seek you out.

;)
