Graduation?
I guess it's about time to officially announce that I've graduated from NUS, miracously. Honestly, I don't know how I could, looking at the pathetic piece of work that I called my Honour Year Project. Perhaps the professors took pity on me and rather than see me again, they just washed their hands of me and let me go. Well, this is fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. Fortunate because I don't have to worry about school any more and can start earning money. Unfortunate because I don't have to worry about school any more and should start earning money. See, I like school or rather, I like the experience of schooling. I'm a naturally curious person and studying something new and interesting to me is something I really enjoy. The problem is no one is paying me to do it and I'm not smart enough academically to ask someone to pay for me. So into the big wild world is where I am heading. I think. The problem is I don't want to head into the big wild world. At least not yet.
Furthermore, what can I do with a degree in Computer Engineering and a minor in religious studies? The former is something I am academically trained to do but the later is what I am really interested in. My head is in computer but my heart is in religion. The only compromise that I can think of is researching something along the line of technology versus religion. Or becoming a tech support in a religious based organisation. Perhaps something like the IT guy in scientology (scientology, now there's something that combine science and religion albeit in an absurd way, imho).
But honestly, I don't know what I want to do for a living yet. I really want to get into journalism if I can, but not really about news reporting but more on the commentary side of it. But those things are mostly reserved to senior journalists or editors or some esteemed writers so it's improbable they'll let a newbie do it. But, hey, who knows? So if there's anyone out there in the journalism scene who is interested in hiring a computer engineer with a background in religious studies, let me know and I'll come hopping.
