I’m starting university this autumn & these are my main options. Reasons:
~ Accounting: guaranteed job from my boyfriend (businessman) to gain experience. Stable, monotonous, office job - which I like. I like routine. Comfy earning potential.
~ Foreign languages: I love language learning. Can get into the advanced group for German since I already know it well. In demand languages. Good earning potential & opportunities.
~ Physiotherapy: stable job, comfy salary. Relatively routine & chill.
I have a huge passion for Chinese. At the same time I still pursued a career in IT. The reason being that just learning a language won’t open any doors, you need marketable skills as well that employers value. I’d recommend studying for it on your own time or during an extended time off from work. Either way, it takes an enormous amount of hours to get to a proficiency which will have a positive effect in your career. In much less time you’ll be able to learn something else and probably have a higher chance of being employed and also earning more.
Nonetheless, learning a language is incredibly enriching.
