How are you? By the way, I am Rocky Rivera, a former student like you and graduated from college in 2004.
I just wrote to you to share my advice and experience from choosing a course and what my life was like when I graduated from College.
If until now you are not sure if the course you took is what you really want I tell you that it is not too late to shift course but if you really can not really determine what you want eh okay just, it 's better because you are studying even if you still do not feel what you really want course or do in life than just hanging out and wasting time because even if four years have passed and you still do not know the you want it to be okay and at least you have learned something and maybe at that time you will be able to appreciate your course now rather than just staring at your house or somewhere.
What is life after college graduation? Well, when I was looking for a job right away, you really need to work hard, and at first you really have to endure, Suffer from a small salary and position, it's hard if what you do is not really a trip but if you do, you can enjoy the hardship , actually the difficulty is just like a game to you.
I was looking for a job as a programmer even if I was just an assistant or junior programmer but at that time the requirements were to have four years of experience as a programmer and those taught at our school were not that advanced compared to what the companies wanted. who want to be admitted.
I also chose when I was hanging out for almost two years because I was fed-up with the routine, is it like waking up early, bathing, eating then commuting then from 8 AM-5PM your time is tied. I don't like it at first so it's good that my parents supported me, I was at home then, hanging out, helping my parents with household chores, the car that Erfat gave me was a service to my siblings so it's not boring every day- day Abad Santos, Quiapo and Rizal Taft are my route from Monday to Friday, sometimes until Saturday when the sister will reconcile if female.
I also look like a student but only the schedule of waking up in the morning, then if I deliver home again and I have my time, internet, car, sightseeing, food, sleep, hang out, gimmicks are my activities. But it is also boring if you do not earn money and just rely on parental support because you can not buy the ones you want right away so I was also planning to look for a job.
When I was looking for a job again in 2006… the call center was in vogue, they said the salary was high, you just sit and talk, but you must be fluent in English, I am not that fluent but I think there is hope, there are also mistakes in my grammar but I feel that there's a big chance for improvement. I also had a lot of call center applications from People's Support, IBM and many others but the ones I joined if the company was EPAC, E-Pacific it seems, I don't care I'm an outbound call center agent there, I mean I'm the one who calls clients , he used to be a salesman but thru phone and what I am selling is “Time Share” others say it looks like a scam but I can't say if it is a real scam or not because I have not experienced it myself. I had a good experience when I was still an agent in E-Pac but later I felt like I could not save the things I wanted to buy for my car so I looked for another place to get a salary that I think I can save great in a short time.
I just remembered that I have an uncle in Saudi, it doesn't matter, he also has a high position and I told my Ermats that maybe he can help me and that is what Ermats said and it happened that my uncle knew where to go and from then on he walked. I already have the papers he wants to send me. At that time I was no longer at work if the E-Pac company was in Aims I used to be, I was just a new employee and I was also thankful for the help of other former colleagues when I was hired, but that that when I found out that I had to walk the papers that the company I was applying for in Saudi needed, I immediately took care of it.
In a short time, I flew to Saudi and this is where the new career from Clerk to Exec began. Secretarry until I was lucky enough to be a Production Planner.
It's not that far from finishing if the course because I can use my basic programming knowledge here, but I have studied and studied a lot about my work now. My income is good again now, here I took the ones I helped with the education of my siblings, my Girlfriend who is now my wife, the expenses for her childbirth and the family issues here I also inawas.
We decided to sell my car then, because it was not taken care of like when I was taking care of it, it was a bit heavy inside but I chose to do it because instead of rotting and damaging it completely useless, I had better sell it just. It doesn't matter if you plan to buy Evolution but apart from saving, I think about how I will take a strategy so that he does not rot because he is just in the ear.
Now I can buy the petty luxuries of a young man from laptop, DSLR, Cellphone, branded clothes, shoes etc. I can say that I am okay now and I just work out that I hope my wife and I will be together again in the same place and sooner or later we will be with our child.
That was my life when I graduated from Collage. I shared this with you because you might need an idea about what life is like after College life and what exactly is the purpose of a collage other than a diploma. Because after you go to college and you are looking for a job sometimes you will think that you entered a job that is contrary to what you finished, sometimes you will shrink yourself and you will think that you are wasting the years you spent in college because this is how you work.
Well, just like when I said in my articles, the misconception is that we think that the reason you want to graduate from college is to make money later. I just found out later that college is made up of people who want to share service and not people who want to start a business or work together, because there is a slight difference because you want to work together to share service, the service you do because you want to serve others and the job as long as you just want to earn, a little deep explanation and sometimes there is a contradiction in them but with easy explanation I can explain them like this.
What I can tell you now while you are still studying is to focus your attention on what work, service or job you think you will enjoy doing rather than thinking about which job has a big salary and at least a small one. even if your salary is happy, you are happy with what you are doing so it 's just like a board…
If only time could return, maybe I should have done com arts, because I love filming, photography, drawing and I just found out that I have a heart for writing. if I were going to work I would have liked to be in a studio, the subjects are female models, because I love beautiful women, there are also people who really like to see beautiful cars, women, views of the island as long as they are beautiful. Maybe whatever job is okay as long as I'm there and I have a lot of interesting models. I also can not say if that is what I will do but if time is restored maybe I will do so.
after you go to college they say don't get married first, well I don't know if that's okay but it depends on the situation, I really think it's challenging to have children at an early age but in my observation the family is also challenging old age.
So it's just the same weight of responsibility, the point is that eventually you will be responsible for a particular role so it is better to be conciouse with those who will be responsible than to give you a randomized responsibility.
Others say that almost all college graduates want to go abroad immediately, because the salary is high. Don't believe it at first but now it seems to be true. If it's just money, maybe it's better to go abroad, but not just because of the money but also for your own unland. It is also good for you to experience what is around your country, it is also good for you to witness what it is to live in another culture because I think when that happens here you can appreciate life more….
I still want to tell you a lot, my friend, but for now, maybe it's only up to here because the subject of my story seems to be expanding, but that's my point, after college you will know or see and feel that naaaaapaaakalwaaak life …
Right now one of the many I can advise you is to enjoy college student life….
