The Most Depressing Moment of My Life
Recently, I have submitted a resume to apply for a job. Actually, I should soon graduate from the university and find a job to carry on my living. As seniors, it’s time for us to decide our future. However, now I am getting confused about the decision that I should make. As far as I am concerned, I major in the department of business administration; meanwhile, double major in the foreign language. But if I want to finish my double major degree, I must spend another one year to attain my graduate threshold. Thus, I am wondering if I should keep studying for my double major degree or just quickly find a job but only finish the minor major degree.
In my opinion, I am inclined to stay here for study. Honestly, I do not consider that it is easy for me to find a better job because of my major. It’s a fact that one who majors in management lacks a specialized subject. It’s hard for me to find a suitable job unless I continue to study for the relevant subject, such as marketing, human resource, and finance. However, those are not my interests. In fact, I desire to work in the industry referring to foreign languages. That is also the reason why I choose to double major in foreign language though my parents disagree.
To my parents, if I want to keep my study; that is to say, they have to keep supporting my expenses. Because my parents have paid my tuition fee and cost of living for almost four years. They hope that I can be independent and live by myself, not relying on them any longer. According to this problem, I have thought that I can take a part time job to cover my living expenses. That is a good way to relieve my parents’ burden. However, they are curious about my determination to study the foreign language. They think that majoring in foreign language is not promising. It’s also difficult to find a good job.
Under this condition, I am afraid to tell my real thoughts to my parents. They right now are looking forward to my graduation, keep asking me when they can come here to help me move back home. It is until now that I still dare not tell them the truth. Therefore, although I have mentioned that I submitted a resume recently, I don’t think that I can get that job successfully. I just keep caught between a rock and a hard place, can’t find the best answer.
