Most people experience a big dilemma in their lives in which career path should they take. It is common for Filipino students to encounter this situation because parents will force their children to take career paths that will bring pride and prestige. These include career paths that are related to medical courses fields, or business and finance fields. This leads to a change in courses for the sake of their parents’ advice. However, it is the student’s decision to make on what future career path they want to pursue. Whatever path they think is right for them will bring success and happiness to their lives.

As of now, I am in the field of Accountancy at this college. It has been a wonderful opportunity for me to be in this field because it is my targeted course since high school. However, if I am in the field of IT, I would like to pursue Program and App Developer or Web Designer. I find it interesting in designing and developing applications and programs considering that we are in a technological generation. As technology advances, more programs and systems will be developed in the following years. Moreover, I am also interested in designing, editing, and layouts to make my presentations and projects look pleasing and entertaining. I consider myself a perfectionist when it comes to my works, specifically on the visual aspect because it creates an impression and leaves an impact on the audience’s perspective. Not only the visual aspect but also the accessibility and easiness of the overall performance of the website. And with that, it creates a reputation for the company. Furthermore, I have the skills to become a Web designer, but I want to flourish more in my talents and broaden my knowledge in the field of IT.

To be honest, if I would be given a chance to change my career path, being a web designer would be the one. I have tons of interests that I would like to explore knowing that I would enjoy myself doing it with high compensation. Although accountancy is one of my targeted courses, I feel like I need to expose myself to other opportunities and rethink my decisions in life. Who knows if there is a change of heart in pursuing my dreams and leading to a better future?
