I don’t know what has gotten into me, but I suddenly felt like taking time to think about my career in the future. I know I’m a late bloomer. I just realized how much I’ve been missing on the things I’m supposed to already know by now. Well, not really in all aspects, though. I believe I have enough knowledge of certain things like computer and the internet. But one thing that I think I still lack knowledge in is the field of Industrial Engineering — the course that I’m currently taking up in college. Though I’ve had good grades in my major (and minor) subjects, or at least not failing marks, I don’t think I’ve internalized some important things that much. I regret that sometimes, I just study for the sake of not failing an exam. I didn’t take those things very seriously. But don’t get me wrong. I still have learned several things. Exams and experiences have shaped my mind already. Anyway, maybe the reason for this is that Industrial Engineering was not really my first choice for a course. I wanted to take up a computer course — Computer Science, Information Technology, or Computer Engineering. But I chose Industrial Engineering because of the job opportunities. I was kind of enticed at that moment.

I have already mentioned to my friends, and even to my teacher, that computer-related stuff is where my heart is at. It’s already in my system ever since I was young. I even came to a point where I almost regretted not following my heart in the first place. But along the way, I learned to love Industrial Engineering. I could already appreciate its applications in the real world. It started with Methods Engineering (major subject). That stopped me from getting disappointed.
