I promised to write another post right after the one about our UGC Clips. I screwed up! I really had heaps of stuff to do. There was this stupid transcript I had to write after I interviewed an entrepreneur, and that took some while (can you believe that 1h 10min interview takes about 6 to 7 hours of transcribing?! And It's not that I'm a slow writer...)
Nevertheless, I screwed it up I know!
Today will again be about my future plans (which is actually the topic of this blog, in case u missed it). But I'll also include a video again, which this time is not funny but very interesting. Again, if you just wanna see the video, just scroll down, otherwise thanks for staying with me and my thoughts.
So after I described my desire to emigrate to New Zealand after my bachelor degree in an older post, I'll write a more likely option this time:
A master's degree
(I know, I know, not very spectacular and fascinating but still a valid option)
Earlier during my time in St Gallen, I really thought that this was the path I would take after my bachelor in SG, but nowadays it doesn't seem like a necessity anymore. Still, I guess this will be the path I'll choose after St. Gallen, although it won't be in St. Gallen.
Don't get me wrong, the University of St Gallen has really great master programs and the reputation of the University comes from the masters degrees, but I think it's time to move on and live somewhere else.
St. Gallen is not a great city to live in. It's alright, but I love metropolitan life. St. Gallen is more a big village than a small city and life here is quite boring. Additionally I want to move on because I always loved it to experience living in different parts of the world. I'm a type of guy how can't stay at one place too long. I have to go somewhere else to stay happy and exited. So this is only a logical consequence.
Some of you might ask why to pursue a master's degree at all?! Well there is a simple explanation: I really don't feel ready to start my professional carrier now. I feel like I'm still to young to do that. So a master's degree might not prepare me a lot better for my professional life, but at least I'll gain something even more important: experience and adventures.
In order to make this Post a bit more multimedia-based (and less boring) I want to give you some examples where I might land and what are my dream destinations for a master's could be:
After doing some research I really fell in love with this place. It fulfills a couple of requirements that I have. First of all, the city where it's situated is great (Sydney!!!!). Second: the weather is mostly warm (perhaps a bit to warm), third it is in an english speaking country and forth it has interesting and special area oriented masters (in contrast to a non specific area oriented master like a MBA). I would pursue to complete a Master of Commerce with a specialization in Marketing there. This might sound very trivial, but if you have a look at many Universities in the english-speaking world, most of them just offer an MBA which would not make a lot of sense because it would most certainly overlap with a lot I learned during my bachelor (of business administration). The only negative about UNSW is that it is not very renown around the world, but I don't see that as a very important criteria.
After you got a little example of what my criterias regarding the University and the master's program are, I just want to give you a list of other destinations I consider. Some of them might not fulfil all criterias, but I think you always have to make some trade-off. Perhaps some of them might also be interesting for some of my dear readers ;-)
Many of you might want to mention or even recommend other universities or another master's program. I just wanted to list a few examples. This list is fare from complete. I'm still researching and evaluating (e.g. next on my list are Universities in Scotland and South Africa). The idea behind this blog post was on one hand just to give the people who are interested (I hope there are at least a few....) an idea where I might be heading, and on the other hand to fuel myself to start researching and dealing with my future. I think both worked out quite good!
After you now know my latest considerations what to do in the future, I'll now come back to the video I promised earlier.
I have to admit that I didn't follow the Symposium the last couple of years but my interest was fairly increased this your due to the fact that a friend of mine is in the organizing committee.
I think this event is a good thing and although not a lot of students can attend you can get a bit of the flair of this great event via their youtube channel. In order to endorse this event I've put the video about the topic of the symposium and a video from a panal discussion of very interesting personalities at the end of this post. There are heaps of other videos at their youtube channel, so check it out!!!!
Enjoy the videos, stay tuned,
cheers
Chris
