I know, from the title you’re probably assuming that this is
going to be a gloomy post about death and all that nostalgic malarkey, but this
time around I’ll try to add a positive twist.. Key word there being ‘try’. If
you’re still applying to Uni, chances are some of you are still a bit confused
as to whether you’ve chosen the right course. Don’t panic, this is normal, I’m
nearly finished my 2nd Year and even I’m still confused!
Granted you have the freedom (I didn’t really have it), I
believe that you should choose something that you truly enjoy and (borderline)
might even do for free. I mean, if every job paid the exact same amount of
money what would you see yourself doing? At the end of the day it is a bit sad
because money inevitably is power, as much as we hate to admit it, which sways
careers. For example I’m studying Business Law but (as you may have noticed) my
true passion lies in poetry. I reckon, of you can’t pursue your passion; try do
it in your free time, like I do. So if mom and dad want you to be an
accountant, and you literally have no choice but to do that, if photography is
a passion of yours never let it die and make some free time aside for that.
You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you’re
middle aged and evaluate your life and ask yourself “Is this what my life has
really come up to?” If you can, chase your passion, because when the salaries
and job perks are all gone, you’ll still have it, and wouldn’t you want to go having
lived a happy and fulfilled life?
In my opinion, rather be poor or just adequate, and
genuinely content, than filthy rich and miserable. I don’t know, we’re all
different, but that’s what Russell Thinks.
