Today was fine honestly.
I mean, I had a little rough in with Dad but it was little. I guess I might be recalling it owing to the fact that I am overthinking it, I guess he would have brushed it aside by now, being the Dad and all.
And I am thinking of doing LLB. Ha!
Isn’t that a head scratcher. Why LLB, when I am already an undergrad, and I should be doing Masters, if any education at all.
Good question. But by now from all the sources I have, I have established that Masters as a degree teaches you way less than Bachelors, be it in any degree. Masters seems like just a filler, between Bachelors and higher education, i.e MPhil or PhD. Dad always wanted me to do a PhD.
Still, in that case, I should be doing Masters but … it doesn’t feel right to give away money for just a piece of paper, where my 2 years of study and another year of research will be more influenced by school politics and frankly a time waste, than any actual value and material of substance. Bachelors offers material of substance. Be it LLB or BS Computer Science or anything for that matter.
And well, why LLB? No particular reason. To be fully honest, the current season I watch now-a-days is The Lincoln Lawyer. But I also consume other content off of the internet and to give me enough time to think, I have decide to let this test date run dead. If I think of this option as a good one by the next few months, when the new test date arrives, sure, one can consider it.
BS Computer Science is a strong contender but I am just not sure if I am ready to do that much studies again. Coders, especially worth their salt, have to do a lot of work learning, literally, new languages. LLB on the other hand has a finite amount of laws and regulations you gotta study, and even lesser that you actually have to master. Also, BS Computer Science will put me back in the seat behind a computer screen but LLB, you have to admit it, has an outwardly role to it. Connection to the real world. A third reason is that my previous Bachelors in Mass Communication will be supported by this degree. A journalist who is also a lawyer sounds way much better than a journalist who is also a Full Stack programmer. Capiche?
Nah I know this is too fast, thereby the wait. We’ll see. If the family keeps asking me to do Masters, that is their way of forcing me to study, I think Double Bachelors is a strong contender to it. We’ll think of it when the time comes.
Otherwise all is fine. I did have a talk with an old friend today. We were in university together and out of that damned place, he is the only guy I talk to. He’s … big. Visited a couple of countries this year and I am happy for him but I am also afraid. Money goes straight to the head, and I have not seen that kind of talent and self-resolve in anyone in my life, maybe dad, but they are playing on very different fields. He is what you call, a potential genius, if he plays the right moves. I don’t know the future, god help us all make the right decisions.
We do turn to god eventually, eh!
Bye.
