Went to this Career's Expo held at UNSW today with the whole of our school's Year 12 group. Initially, I didn't want to go because I felt very strongly about going to Billy Blue Graphic Arts School and only there. I really closed my window after making that decision. Man, did I open up my window again.
There were so many universities and private colleges there, including cadetships, GAP year programs etc. It was great. Alot of the major universities were there, like UNSW, USYD, UTS and those from out of state, like Monash and the University of Melbourne. I picked up alot of information about design courses from many private colleges and a few universities. I've also found an interest in Marketing, that particular aspect of advertising. I'd always thought marketing was interesting, eversince I did Design & Tech as an elective in Year 10. For some reason, it really appealed to me. It really came back to me today as I was walking past the UNSW Business section and someone said to me that they gave out free bags, which I was rather keen on because I didn't particularly want to carry all these prospectuses around in hand. So I went over there and had a chat with some of the students, got my bag and left - with the idea of marketing in my mind. I particularly liked UTS' Bachelor of Business program, because you could major in one main course, and another sub major of a course from any other course in any other faculty of the university. But the question of whether I want to pursue a career in the advertising industry under the PRODUCTION or RESEARCH/MARKETING side pulled me back. I have to make a decision.
Of course, I still want to go to Billy Blue, but perhaps a Bachelors of Business might be what I'm really look for. Ahhhh, so many questions - and time is running out. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
Cheerssssss.
PS. I don't know what's gotten into me, but I haven't done more than an hour's worth of work in the past two nights. I'm so lazy, unmotivated and tired. I want to go home.
PPS. Maths assessment task is over. Only two to go (English and History)! No cot, secant or cosec graphs were involved in that last maths test, thankfully.
PPPS. I don't get it. I play one guitar solo performance at an In-House concert and suddenly I'm the "to-go-to" person for music backing. I'm performing the guitar solos for this Year 12 prefects concert tomorrow lunch time, andddd doing the guitar backing for some Drama promotion thing on Thursday assembly. My head spins at the thought. I like the attention though. It's cool 8)
