"You are confused"
After a lot of hassle about finding a place for me to stay, I've finally been able to live in my previous dorm. I have officially live here for 4 years. Alhamdulillah, now I have a nice place to stay.
Today I was reminded about a certain story or statement that my lecturer of International Relations told me and the entire class. She told us a story about now a student taking HRD in our uni was furthering her master's degree in resource sciences. She told us that the student was confused. She said that the student should have taken a master's degree in something related to her degree.
Listening to this, I have to say that I disagree. Well. Perhaps what she is saying is true. It is arguably more reasonable to further your master's degree with an area that you are already familiar with and have basic to moderate level of knowledge in the field. Taking a completely different subject would only mean suicide and burdening yourself. Who would want to do that, right?
I am one of those people who have thought about taking master's degree in a completely different field than my current degree. I want to study and research about something that I am passionate about. Yes, the degree that I would be holding is not something that I am passionate about. I can do it and it is important, but it is not my passion.
In the back of my mind, I know that that would be the rational thing to do. Getting a master's degree in the same or related area of my degree. Perhaps I will go down that path one day. But I think that following your dreams is important. As long as I am who I am, I will always try to chase and grab my dreams when there is the slightest chance. I am going to be that person.
