going to graduate school has never been debated in my family. my dad has a masters degree, and he has been encouraging (nee, influencing) me since high school.

i have the option of going local or international, and i’ve decided to try my hand at US and Australian schools. the problem is that while i have some ideas on what to take up, i simply cannot choose. so far, i’ve got five degrees on my list: journalism, asian studies, peace studies, philippine studies, and communication research.

i was never much for academics, so i doubt if i have a shot at the more prestigious universities. i feel very confused and hapless and…screwed.

help.
