At the moment, I am trying to make the most of the little time I have left at the University of Hertfordshire - whilst trying to make one of the most important life choices I will ever have to make - where to do my Masters degree. That is on top of all my university work and other commitments...
I have been extremely lucky in that I have had three (really four - but I have not told many people where the fourth place is but it is very scary and in another country!) offers from universities for their Masters courses. At the moment, I am stuck between choosing between my heart - in the North - and my head - in London. As I am writing this, I am set on London but tomorrow my mind may be set on somewhere else!
The choice to do a Masters is a very personal one and thanks to the new Government Student Loan for Masters - is a choice more people (including myself) will consider taking. I, for one, want to do a Masters because my undergraduate degree (Mass Communications) is very broad and has not allowed me to really specialise in my area of interest - advertising. However, part of wants to get out there in the industry already and get on the career ladder! There is also the debt factor, which has already deterred so many of my friends. The way I see it is that the cost for a MA is an investment in my future and will get me one step closer to my dreams - hopefully!
I have so many people in my life deciding what choice is right for me, at the moment, and it is hard to for me to decide what I actually want - part of me is now even questioning whether a Masters is actually worth it! Maybe I should just go to the university in the other country?
... I realise that this was a rather pointless blog post but feel a lot better for writing down and sharing what is going on in my head.
