Answer 1

Presently, am certified with two degrees, if I can call it. I major in two different fields, Journalism and administration/management. I've had quiet the experience anyone could want to continue pursuing my careers in both fields. I have working experience with one of the most reputable television station I'm my country, NTA, thanks to my journalism degree. I've also had the opportunity of working with two leading financial banks in the country, thanks to my administration and management degrees.
However, i've always wanted to work with a security firm like that of the military. Hence, I given a chance to redo my degrees all over, i think i'll study psychology or sociology. Criminal psychology to be precise. Studying this will most definitely give me the edge to pursue a career in security affairs.

Answer 2

Since when i was a child, i always dreamed of being an air hostess, i always admired they way they looked, how they walked, the way they talked, everything about them just used to catch my eye. This dream and desire went on for a while, then i went to high school and when i finished, i decided to go and take up a course in Tours and Travel because i thought, that is what is going to take me to where i want to go. When i cleared my course, that is when it hit me it is not as easy as you think or see. I searched for a job but each time you would end up with a regret letter. This was very discouraging, so i opted to do something else aside from Tours and Travel, i later on gave up on the idea of being an air hostess. Years have gone by many other things have been done, jobs have been done and so on. so if i am given another opportunity to go back to school i would actually take a degree in counseling and psychology. I am even surprising myself with what i have just typed, i never thought i would be writing down something like this back in the day. This were terms that were used by people of certain stature not just anyone. Nowadays anything goes, people may choose careers just for the money and fame, but as you grow up you have a different sense in how you do things. Your reasoning changes, and you start looking at life in a different perspective. You don't just think about what it's going to bring you in terms of money, but how it's going to build you up as a person in the society that you live in. At my age now i tend to meet up with people who have issues and i help them out in one way or another, knowingly or unknowingly and that makes me feel good about myself. Sometimes we may feel like we cannot do certain things in life because we have no training, but that's not it, if you have the will and the drive, nothing can stop you from achieving what you want.
