Dream job, make it real job.
Uncategorized“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the question that everyone got asked since we were children including me. I have had many dream jobs since I was a child, maybe because I watched a lot of drama with my nanny.
My first dream job is as a teacher as I like to help friends doing homework and all of the walls in my house. I painted it all with the homework lists, and subject knowledge including my father’s vault and it is still there today. And then when I grew up in high school, I found myself really into arts and design so I learned drawing when I was around 14 years old and prepared myself to enter the faculty of architecture.
However, everything changed like a flashlight, 3 months before the entrance period. I changed my mind about the Faculty of Journalism and Mass communication instead and it is not because I lose my passion for arts and design but it‘s because I don’t want to lose it. As I found myself slightly hating what I created due to the pressure and high competition so I cannot bear that feeling anymore which is why I shifted.
After 4 years in this faculty and learning many things, I definitely thanked myself for the courage to take those critical steps. I am mentally and physically happy with what I have been taught and experienced in this faculty. I’ve got a chance to learn about Marketing, Media business management in my home university and also storytelling by design, Media Institution, and Dress To Impress here at LMU which impacts me a lot on what I want to do when I graduate.
My time is almost there. I have only one semester left before I graduate so if I have to answer that question again, my answer might be working in a PR or marketing field because I do enjoy marketing research, creating campaigns that help society, and also like telling stories using proper design. And last but not least, I will continue to enjoy my drawing and painting but not doing it for living but living to do it.
I am not sure what is literally a dream job and does it gonna change or not in the future but what I know now is I am happy to take as many chances as possible, screw up part of it and do it better next time to continue to find myself more.
