thoughts

is accountancy really my dream course or was it the result of society?

i came across a similar tweet, and i thought about it in my context. since young, society has told me office jobs are the most stable. that was how i ended up having business admin as my dream course up till p6, where i changed to accountancy.

is accountancy what i really wish to do? or is it just for the sake of having a stable career? with this thought, i became really confused. after all, i craved to be an accountant since i was p6.

then i remembered coming across a sp course, applied drama and psychology. it seems interesting, so i went to read up about it. as i read every single one of the module, i found the course fun! you can help others, and also have that element of drama while you're at it. but this came to my mind. if i choose this instead of accountancy, will i regret? the future careers are not as good as what accountancy offers. even though it seems interesting.. does it promise you a good future? i thought long and hard. then i decided to stick to accountancy.

reason being, i was exposed to finance, insurance, microsoft applications since a young age, maybe around 4 or 5. i picked up professional typing (if that's what you call it) at the age of 6. at just 6 years old, i can type really fast. typing soon became my hobby. i'd turn on the computer just to type out a book i was reading. it made me really happy. i loved helping my mum to type out the expenses in Excel. this is probably why i like numbers.

with this foundation, i made my mind to work in an office someday; i just didn't know what position exactly. then, at p6, i liked jeanette. knowing she came from NUS, i went to read up the courses at NUS, and found business administration (accountancy). i asked my mum what's accountancy, and from then on, i've settled on accountancy.

also, i doubt i'll have any regrets if i choose accountancy. call me a coward, but i'm not taking any chances. so, even though applied drama and psychology almost made it's way to my heart, the love fr accountancy overpowered it. after all this confusion, i still remained with accountancy. guess it's really my dream course. ♥
