Which course to take up in College?
My wife's sister is going to start college this coming school year. And she still hasn't made up her mind. When we asked her a few months ago she wanted to take up Psychology. A few weeks later she wanted to take up Computer Science. Just 2 weeks ago she wanted to take up nursing. So we sat her down and talk to her about the Pros and Cons of the course she wanted to take. First she has to think about the employability of the course she wanted to take. She has think a few years ahead. We told her that the demand for graduate of a certain course maybe high now but it might not be in the future. We didn't pressure her.
In the end she decided to take nursing. We wanted her to make the decision for herself and not make it for her. We ask her if that is what she real wants and she told us that one the reasons why she choose it because she likes how a nursing uniform looks like. I ask her if she likes the white nursing uniform or the scrubs. She said she likes the scrubs. I told her that nursing scrubs are way too colorful nowadays. I jokingly told her that she would look like a cartoon wearing those colorful scrubs they are now selling. Back then most scrubs were colored blue. But she wouldn't change her mind.
She really wanted to take up nursing. And I am glad she made that decision herself. It is funny how much a school uniform weighs in a student's decision making.
