Seniors are to bid goodbye to the Academy. They are about to accomplish a huge milestone in their lives. But the search for knowledge is not yet over. A new different world of learning awaits and a wise decision has to be made as to what path each one has to take.

Choosing what course to take is just one of the major decisions that every graduate has to make. It is where your future career depends on. One has different options to consider depending on his field of interest and specialization. The intellectual capacity of each is a vital need. One cannot just take a course he likes if his mental abilities can not meet the necessary requirements of such course. Another thing to consider is the financial availability to finance the chosen course.

The demand for the said course shouldn’t be put aside, too. So that, when you finish your studies you will land into a job and not just anywhere. Never put yourself into a “job mismatch” someday for you might regret it. You will never learn to love your work and stay.
If all these are marked with a big check, the last thing that you should consider is your physical condition. Consider the distance of your chosen school from your home. Could you travel everyday or better take a boarding house near your school.

To my co-seniors, don’t rush into making a decision. Weigh things over and do not be afraid to seek the advices from other people. Remember, “Education is an investment.”
