There is no such thing as the perfect course. Ang masasabi ko lang sayo, kung nasaan ang interests mo,yun ang piliin mo. Mahilig kang magdrawing, try mo ang fine arts, architecture, anything na mai-aapply mo yung interest mo. For now, in demand ang Nursing. Lahat ng courses may advantages and disadvantages. Basta whatever na mapili mo, once na maumpisahan mo na, wag ka na magpapalit-palit ng courses. Wala kang matatapos pag ganun ang ginawa mo. Masasayang pa ang time and money mo. If let's say for example napili mong i-take ang Pharmacy then later on parang ayaw mo na, gusto mong mag-shift sa Engineering, try mo munang tapusin ang Pharmacy. Then pag natapos mo na iyon saka ka mag-aral ng Engineering if you still wanted to. At least may tinapos ka na.

JoJoMbaGinKiTa: I am not sure but in a school setting, the Guidance Counsellor has the duty to present different alternatives and opportunities for out-going Senior High Students. Why don't you try to inquire in the Guidance Office if they have such a thing about College Planning Plans for Students of your school. If your school has a college department then surely there is an in-house Counsellor for College Planning.

If and when there isn't any in your school, then you have to do the College Planning on your own. I am not very sure about the different Colleges and Universities in the Philippines but it would do you well that as early as now you try to inquire about Entrance Tests for that College or University. Look at the courses they offer. In the process, you might be able to get exposed to a lot of possibilities and choices.

In College Planning, it is essential that you choose a Course that interests you or a Course that you want. YcoY is right in saying that there's isn't any "perfect" course for any individual not unless a person goes into College Planning Counselling but it does not guarantee anything still.

The best you could do is, assess yourself, make a list of the possible courses you might want to get into. Then narrow it down to at least 5 choices and start from there - what school (admissions, other considerations). It might also be good to ask your parents, siblings, and relatives just for suggestions but you have to make your decision on your own.

Mag nurse ka nalang

NURSE or some MED course maganda sya lalo na kung trip mo mangibang bansa...

Pero mas maganda KUNIN mo yung tipong magugustuhan mong trabaho someday. Kasi aanhin mo naman ang pera kung di ka masaya di ba??? Ako tignan mo ang course ko ang nagdala sa akin dito sa tinatambayan ko....

perfect course ---> LAW
dahil dyan!!!! walang mali kaya perfect!!!!

there's no such thing as perfect course. for me, ung piliin mong course ung kung saan sa tingin mo ikaw mag e excel.its hard to find a job lalo na't kasabay mo ay madaming aplikante.u should find a course that fits for ur interests.para mae enjoy mo din ang pag aaral mo.u know dti dumaan n din ako sa gnyang sitwasyon. my father asked me to take computer engineering or computer science or any computer related course.pero habang nag e exam ako,di ako excited.i really want to take fine arts.pero ung father ko ayaw, dhil magugutom lng daw ako pagkatpos.wala daw pera sa larangan ng sining.kaso makulit ako.iginiit ko ung gusto ko kc alam kong dito ako mag e excel. aanhin ko ang kursong computer science kung alam ko nmng di un ung gusto ko,di ako mag eexcel,mapapabilang lng ako sa mga jobless graduates? ipinagpatuloy ko ang kursong fine arts khit di ako pinapansin ng aking ama.ilang buwan ding di nya ako kinibo.pro nung tumagal nakita nya mtataas ang grado ko sa school, tinanggap n din nyang un tlga ang kurso pra sa kin.pinagsikapan kong mkakuha ng scholarship.di kmi mayaman, di ako matutustusan ng magulang ko sa kursong un.pero nagpursige ako. nagside line ako pambili ng gmit ko.ung ibang mahal na mga gmit,nanghihiram na lng ako sa mga kaibgan ko.tiyaga lng nkatapos ako.at napatunayan ko sa tatay ko na kya ko mag excel sa pinili kong kurso at hinding hindi ako magugutom dito.sa ngyon d2 ko hk nagtatrbho.nag eenjoy ako sa trabaho ko dhil ito ang hilig ko and at the same time nkakatulong ako sa pmilya ko.
sa pagkuha mo ng kurso,maging maingat ka sa pagpili.make sure na iyon tlga ang gusto mo pra di mo pagsisihan sa huli.kc ito ang magsisilbing baon mo pra sa iyong kinabukasan.

i think wlang perfect course.. what r ur interests b? then ask mo kung san meron skul n may gnun... like 4 ex.. engineering,doctor etc.. me, dti gusto ko mging policewoman... ay d pla ung nagppatrol sa daan.. ksi nkikita ko plagi sa daan, eh tuwang tuwa ako pag nsa labas... dat time uhugin p akong bata. until i realize iba ang gusto ko.. eventually nag aral ako ng psychology.. all im saying is go for what u think n mag eexcel ka n eventually ma iiaaply mo lahat ng ntutunan mo not necessarily iaaply lhat ksi krmihan ngaun hindi related sa work ang nkukuhang work. at least u share ur knowledge n ung nag eenjoy k at d same time... mas maganda kung mkktulong k p sa family mo.
goodluck ok.. we believe in u namn.

if u think ur good enough to finish any course, medicine would be the best.

well, it's a common problem for incoming senior HS students, so don't fret. i guess your school will conduct a career orientation seminar for seniors like you who are still undecided on what course to take.

i suggest you take the course that you can mostly relate to AND if you think it can help you to find job easily. i take myself for eaxample. i love chemistry so much and love doing laboratory works. at the same time, i wanted to take a med course. and so, I took up pharmacy. and i can say it's worth all the struggle and hardships because i finished the course that i really liked.
decide wisely. goodluck!

Thankies! The trouble is I don't know what I like! But I'll try to sort things out! That's why I love this place... PEOPLE LISTEN TO YOU!
thanks for the advice

pick the one your happy with as well as makakatulong sa iyo sa future

hehehe... d ko nga rin alam kukunin ko eh... nasa 1st year college na ko ngaun pero undecided pa me kaya nag engineering akoh kahit mahina ko sa math...

Choose the course that you are really interested in, and preferably mahusay ka din sa area na yun (for example, kung engineering, dapat mahusay ka sa math; kung masscom, mahusay ka magsulat, etc.)

By the way, ang galeng ng SN mo, hehe!

Problem Solved! Journalism Po!!!
BTW, SN ko kasi wala na kong maisip eh! Thanks Thanks! Martial Arts... Pwede rin... baka may martial arts lessons sila dito...

Hello!
1. Is there any age limit (say, not more than 35) imposed by those "Top 3 Schools" for applicants wishing to get a second-degree in Pharmacy?
- As far as I know, there isn’t. As long as you are determined to study, then why not? In fact, I have a classmate before who had a daughter as old as me.

2. Considering such factors as school expenses, future job demand, salary, career growth, and as a “stand-alone” profession, which do you think is a better pre-med course between Pharmacy and Nursing?
- I don’t want to be biased regarding this since I’m a Pharmacist myself. All I know, I had a classmate in college before who is taking up Med and told me that it’s an advantage that she was a Pharmacy graduate. And in any way, I agreed to her because there are some doctors who prescribed wrong medication to the patient. Not all doctors are aware of the adverse drug reactions and contraindications that may occur in patients taking multiple medications. They are also sometimes not aware that the signs and symptoms that can be diagnosed in the patient were actually the side effect/toxic reaction of the drug that he prescribed. Oh well, I’m getting too opinionated so to be fair, ask a Med student. Hehe! Although, of course, I prefer Pharmacy. Hehehe! But in terms of a stand-alone profession, I recommend Pharmacy because you can have a job even outside the hospital setting. Besides, your license alone can give you big bucks.

I admit that Nursing is one of the easiest passport to go abroad because the job is in-demand and trying to work as a registered Pharmacist abroad (particularly in western countries) is like passing through the needle’s eyes, not to mention will eat a lot of your time and money. But once you are already there, income is as much as a Nursing job or maybe higher.

Hope this helps. Goodluck to you whatever your plan will be. If ever you still have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

i am a registered nurse and a private nurse of a very rich businessman.halos lahat na yata ng pinangarap ko sa buhay natupad nung nagwork me as private nurse.dahil may private jet cya almost natour na namin d whole world with shopping spree,very good paychecks!nway,assess mo self mo kung anu talaga want mo.sa akin nun di ko din want ang nursing pero pangarap ng mom ko eh dahil nung magcocollege na sya un naman ung time na namatay lolo,lola at kapatid nyang nagpapaaral sa kanya.as of now im not regreting sa course na tinake ko.masaya ang nursing course lalo na pag nagaffiliate na kau sa hospital,magdedemo kau abt bedmaking etc. at magcommunity service kau.isang pang tanong dyan ung budget.pag nursing kasi mahal eh lalo na ung bayad sa duty,lab at affiliation.next question kakayanin mo ba?kung buo ung loob mo then go for it pero kung napipilitan ka lang wag na lang kasi baka magshift ka lang din.actually may percentage cutting ang nursing eh ewan ko lang sa mga mukhang perang schools.dapat pag magnursing ka suggestion ko UST o SLU,baguio dun sa skols na un maganda ang foundation at mataas percentage nila during bord exams.

ano bang interest mo? and ano bang gusto ng parents mo? naku wag kang papayag ng nursing!!

kung hindi mo talaga gusto yun ha!

tska san ka ba passioante at yung nakikita mo ang sarili mo na kahit na hihirapan ka ay enjoy pa rin!!!

yun...

ano ba gusto mo maging paglaki mo???haaha (joke lang po)

kong ano sa palagay mo ang nararapat sayo...then don ka kong saan ka masaya then go...

yes its all about your interest. pero di ba mas ok din kung pipiliin mo ung depende sa estado ng buhay nyo ngaun. may mga cors kasi dat really guarantees you a high salary. some dont, minimun lang, minsan kahit college graduate na, nakakaexperience pa rin nyan. kasi nga low-earned course ung pinili nila. kung gusto mo talaga umasenso for example youre gud in math, try engineering. kaw bahala. use ur talent. watever ur talent is.

yeah yeah. use ur talent. pero mahalaga rin na isipin mo waht lies ahead.

i mean.. get realistic. Hindi lahat ng iniinsist ung gusto nila, e in the end okey.

think as much as u can. at pag nakapili k na, panindigan mo.

remain standing kahit ng-iisa k na lang.

pero pinka masasabi ko,

***piliin mo kung ano yung nasa puso mo. at kung kaya mo, go. it's your choice after all.

good luck. *smiles*
