Safe or risky path?
« on: December 22, 2013, 09:21:34 am »

With only a day to go, I am still unsure about my preferences! With my atar, I can get into both of my dream courses but I don't know which one to do. Please help me!

Course #1: Flexible subjects, scholarship, has been my goal for the year, seems obvious choice

BUT...

Course #2: New course so not sure how it will turn out but has the potential to be more employable than course 1, very very small chance of a scholarship, small cohort, seems really exciting

Basically, course 1 is the 'safe' path and course 2 is the 'risky' path. Which one should I choose?

Me personally I would choose risky. I'm sick of safe.

do you want to grow up an old man/woman filled with regret? OR TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH?

if you tell us the courses and what your interests are we can be of more help to you :D

Risky path, and be proud of it.

EDIT: Really depends on the course. Sometimes things aren't 'risky' as you think they are.

Much easier to help you if you tell us what the courses are...
