Only read this when you are really really bored. I wrote it only for myself, to clear my thoughts. There are no pictures in it. And it's long!

What to do after I got my bachelor's degree in a year?

Options are:
  1. do the master that belongs to the bachelor
  2. do a master that belongs to the bachelor, but on a different university
  3. do another bachelor, that has different (as in: more fun) career prospectives
If I will do a master that follows my current bachelor, I will become a researcher. But I don't think it's a fun occupation. Many of the research that is being done, doesn't lead to any actual change. There are absolutely many researchers who do great things, who do something great for many people, change their lives to the better. That takes a lot of work. You have to follow strict rules. Your single research is not enough, it has to be checked by multiple other researchers. I don't think I would like doing that the rest of my life.
There are other jobs I could do. But I am not even considering those, I did not when I chose this study, I still don't. I am not interested in them at all. And that's OK.
That is why I am considering doing another bachelor, that has different career prospectives. I was thinking about a language. That is quite funny because when I had to choose a study at high school, I considered English Language and Culture. I didn't do it because in the end, I was more interested in biology (I still am interested in it, a lot! that's is not the problem). But I also thought: what can you do after that? Translator, interpreter... that's pretty much it, that should be boring after some time. And now I am considering it again, because of the reason I did nót do it back then. But now I know there are more options besides translator and interpreter. Journalist for example, or editor. And I would like to do that.
But that's what I think now, and I do not know if I will think the same in a couple of months. I will have to think about this thoroughly, and I hope writing this down helps me. Especially since it has become such a long long story...
