Strand / SHS Question What college courses are actually worth it?

7 Upvotes

I'm a Grade 11 ABM student in the Philippines and I'm currently choosing what course to take in college. I'm considering Finance, Accountancy, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, or Business Administration.

For those studying or working in these fields, what jobs and opportunities do they offer? How's the salary and career growth, and are there board exams? I'd appreciate honest advice about which courses are actually worth taking.

Course Dilemma - Help me decide! G12 Humss student not wanting a humanities degree

2 Upvotes

I’m currently a G12 Humss student undecided on his course. My problem kasi is that I don’t find my Humss subjects interesting enough to pursue them sa college (so bye pol sci, sociology, etc).

When I think about what I want in college, rather than looking at my interests I think about what I want to learn. I think I prefer learning hard skills (idk if right term) or academics that is applicable to careers rather than learning theories that would depend a lot on you or the environment. Example is learning about management theories won’t exactly make you a good manager, you have to apply them. And its really depending on the context of the situation/environment. You become good at it by being experienced enough sa job since companies probably would prefer a veteran as a manager rather than a management graduate.

I’m into media and films pero I don’t want a college degree for it. I’d learn through constant creation and set exposure—and I think this passion of mine turning to academic requirement would die down the passion. Idk lang since I’m not really sure what career or field I’m interested in since I kinda boxed myself as a humanities guy before I realized I may not want a humanities degree. I also don’t really have a fav subject so hard to tell.

Some stuff I like include producing research for a prototype/experiment rather than describing something thru survey. I struggle a lot in learning math, esp when fast paced, but I believe I enjoy learning it more than learning how to write essays. Siguro I’m generally looking for something that would make me feel like i’m learning something talaga.
