I'm kind of torn between two professions, Chartered Accountantcy or Engeneering. :unsure: If you asked me what I wanted to become a few weeks ago I would have said Chartered accountant. Then my mother talked to me about what subjects I should choose for grade 11 and she recomended that I should choose subjects that would enable me to study for engeneering. She made a lot of sense and now I'm confused and back to square one. The worst thing is that I've got to make a choice before the school reopens in two weeks. I'm starting to regret the times when my Geography teacher talked to us about our future and I never paid attension HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can afford local college, you should really really not do Form 6, it would be a waste of 2 years. And about choosing between what is practical and what you are really interested in... well, for me, I'm definitely not a risk-taker. I'm doing pharmacy now. Chose it because it was practical and guranteed me a job, but at the same time it'll(hopefully) leave me enough free time to pursue my other interests. A job is just a means to earn enough money to live the rest of your life the way you want to, right? At least, that's what I think.

Good luck. :) SapiensBryan says:

Then the course I'm studying is ranked the <strong>FIRST</strong>, so how? Quit? Hahaha ... No way!! I tell you what, why bother which course is marketable? If you really put effort in that course, any course is marketable. As I've told you, my Diploma is micro-electronic, Degree is IT, now MBA in USM.
