Good college course

[anonemus]

I agree with you, tidus. This country needs more ambitious entrepreneurs in general.

But as what most have posted here, one should start with one's interests and in the TS' case, they're planes, medicine and engineering. Among those three, engineering holds the best opportunity in terms of employment or starting a business.

pero gusto ko po talaga mg pilot. ayun talaga yung gusto ko noon pa.

sige oka yan.

pero hwag sa PAL ha....matututo kang maging aktibista.....

Here, have a read: PAL av school [Archive] - Page 2 - PPRuNe Forums

Just to give you a quick overview on what to expect. I'm not a pilot, but my friend is with PAL and he sent me this.

Ako hoestly gusto ko din niyan kaso di kaya ng family ko at ayaw naman ng mother ko na mag-PMA ako so that i could join th AFP the retire and be a commercial pilot. The only thing I regret not doing.

SO, if you can, pursue it. Para walang doubts.

Every March of every year I am invited as a career speaker in my alma mater, and I have the same speech for the incoming college freshmen. I alwaysadvised them to take the course that is complementing their talents. When I asked how many would like to be a nurse..almost 98% raised their hands. When I asked why, most of the answers common denominator is money. In effect I told them that you are running after money. I always tell them if you run after money it is called fluid and nobody ever cathes the speed of money or the speed on how you spend it. Tneir question is what they are going to do. I asked them to let the money run after you.....right let the money run after you...the next question is how.
Here it goes...everybody knows Manny Pacquio, Ryan Cayabyab and Mr. Manahan of ABS-CBN and even Bata Reyes etc...all of them used their God given talents and the money ran after them. Some of them even reject some projects because they cannot do it anymore. Now the next question is how do we know our God given talent.......I told that is your problem...every night before you sleep ask God what talent he has given you and later on you will know.

Look for signs..if you are very good in mixing chemicals even when you were young then be a chemist, if you are very good in talking and convincing people then be a salesman, if you are very good in music then be a musician and in drawing be a visual artist, it depends on your talent and your inclinations..if you are a good liar then be a lawyer and if you are good in making money on people,s diseases then be a doctor( joke only).

Hope you get something to be a guide in choosing your course. Good luck!!!!

yung sa PAG-ASA....ano ba course nyan?

wala kang PAG-ASA dun, si MANG TANI nga e, yung weather forecaster ng pag-asa sa mga t.v. channels lumipat na sa abroad...

AFAIK, Geo-sciences, meteorlogy, climatology/aerology yata kung sa ganitong field ka papasok,

--just follow your passion, I like what our fellow tsikot member "VOAQUINO" said,...ika nga isipin mo kung saan ka masaya or sasaya, saka mo na iispin kung yayaman ka,



BTW, I'm an entrepreneurial management student, yep, since from my younger years in high school, business is my common interest, actually my first pick was marketing but it is obviously na marami na rin graduate nito na konti lang talaga nakarating sa top yung iba naging call center agents (another case of mismatched) saka gusto ko rin yun naiiba yung hindi nakiki-common sa karamihan, , that's why I go for E.M, medyo parehas rin sila, yun nga lang,I'm going to be the empire maker not the empire worker.

agree ako dito, engineering, while earning money on employment you can start naman some business and be an entrepreneur or investor towards financial freedom..

......
Ngayon, I already have 2 cars from my own money and i'm just in my early 20's well, nakakatipid kasi ako ng malaki dahil sa amin parin ako nakatira and walang ibang gastusin.
.....

Tignan mo nga naman ang pinagpala.. Nung bata pa ako, eto ang gusto ko sa pamilya namin. Pero kabaligtaran ang nangyari. Ngayon, hiwalay na ako sa magulang. I mean, nung nagkatrabaho ako, hindi na ko tumira sa amin. Nakitira ako sa mga kamag-anak sa Makati, tapos nagrent na ko ng apartment.

To TS, Sa paglili ng kurso, ang rule talaga diyan ay sundin mo kung ano ang gusto mo. Wag ka kukuha ng kurso dahil yun ang in-demand at uso ngayon.

2nd option sa pagpili ng kurso ay kung gusto mong sumunod sa mga magulang mo. Madalas ito sa mga negosyante at pulitiko.
Be aware also na minsan nangyayari yung tinatawag na "frustrated pilot, frustrated enginer/ doctor, frustrated military officer, etc". Hindi maiiwasan yan tulad ng nangyari sa pinsan ko. Hindi siya nakapasok sa PMA dahil kulang siya sa height requirment (1 inch). LOL

Ganun pa man, pwede ka pa rin kumuha ng kurso na related pa rin sa gusto mo. Halimbawa, maging air traffic controller, aircraft mechanic, etc. Kung mechanical engineering, related pa rin lalo na kung makapasok ka sa isang aircraft manufacturer like Boeing, Airbus. Basta may pangarap ka.

Anyway, dahil 4th year ka, sapat na rin siguro ang 1 year para makapili ka ng kurso mo.

Yeah... pick the course that best suits your talents... not the one that pays well but makes you miserable.

I shoulda picked engineering.

[Ry_Tower]

Just follow your heart and work hard for it. Afterall as Thomas Edison once said " Success is 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration".

Puwede rin bro... Where are you taking your MBA?

Ako naman,(from engineering), gusto kong mag-law... Tapos tayo ako ng Notaryo... :hysterical:

ayun mga kuya salamat sa mga reply niyo.

Gusto ko talaga noon pa is mag piloto. Yung commercial pilot yung pilot ng mga PAL,Cebu Pacifir etc.
Ok naman kaya naman namin. Tanong ko lang po is kung madali lang ba makapsok after I graduate.
And saan school po ba maganda mag aral nito at ano po ba talaga yung tawag sa course na iyon?

Salamat po ulit.

jm, kung gusto mong maging piloto ay una sa lahat magpa ishihara test ka muna. you can never be a pilot if you possesed color blindness. dito ako bumagsak nung medical ko para sa PMA. kahit anong 4-yr course ay pwede sabi ng kakilala kong pilot... kaso medyo mahal kung magtraining ka sa flying school (more than 40k USD). tapos sabi pa niya... sa flying school nila hindi pa sigurado kung makapag trabaho agad after finishing the required flying hours dahil recommendation lang naman ang pwede nilang ibigay.

sabi ng mom ko noon ay kahit anong commerce course ang kukuhanin ko but ended up enrolling in engineering. no regrets naman dahil nagkaroon ng medyo stable na trabaho outside the country.

1. napupusuuan mo ang kurso.
2. may capabilidad sa kurso na yun.
kung wala ang isa dyan pwedeng babagasak ka lang din dahil di mo kaya or magsasawa ka dahil di mo naman talaga gusto yun.
