Supposed to be an incoming 3rd year na sana but im planning to shift to Marketing Management program this upcoming school year.

At first medyo naganahan ako when i found out what the type of subjects are like studying consumer behavior, analyzing and strategizing products, branding, campaigning, advertising, etc since medyo naka allign yun sa niche and interests ko unlike sa last course ko. Plus confident din ako sa video editing, filming, video conceptualizing, and of course graphic designing, all of which ay self taught and continously improving pa yung skills at craft ko dun, lalo na sa video editing. Extremely big asset daw ang mga ito sa digital marketing, commercials, and advertising which i have already made contents before and has been heavily acknowledged by my previous department and my close friends as high quality and professional level naman daw.

Kaso lately these days i can't help but sometimes be anxious if worth it ba tong i-pursue. From what i've heard kasi, other programs like psych and lalo na abcomm or honestly any other programs daw ay makakapasok din naman pala sa marketing jobs. And whats worse is that usually ang tinitingnan ng mga hiring managers sa resume daw sa marketing ay kung maganda ba yung school (like big 4), otherwise mahirap daw makapasok.

To be fair, i know im very confident sa skills na namentioned ko, and im hoping dun magfocus hiring managers since ayun pride ko. Since throughout my 2 previous years in college, tanging ayung skills lang ang nakikita kong career path for me, naisip ko na since self taught ang mga iyon, might as well continue to improve it and create more content for my portfolio (which actually may mga laman na) AND at the same time i-study yung fundamentals and principles of business as well as the theories and strategies of marketing branding para mas tumpak yung gagawin kong commercials.

Ang wino-worry ko lang ay yung job market and if gaano kalawak yung opportunities or careers sa course na ito kunsakaling di ako makapasok sa marketing team ng company.

For graduates of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Marketing, kumusta na kayo ngayon? Gaano kahirap itong course and ano yung luck niyo sa mga careers niyo today?

EDIT : forgot to mention that the reason for shifting ay dissatisfaction with the previous course program and disallignment ng mga subjects sa envisioned career path and interests ko.

for other attempted course options :

● Psychology.

• honestly my real passion when it comes sa topic but dead end sa career path ko.

● Multimedia Arts

• if freshman palang ako then this would be a suitable choice and ang tunay na nag align sa interest ko, but the nearest one sa akin ay 2 rides away plus sayang yung time spent kung yung matutunan ko lang naman uli ay yung naself taught ko at nagawan ko na ng contents before.

● Communications

• subjects like journalism, theater, broadcasting and the other subjects na nakita ko sa curriculum do not align with my interests.

I know this is like a major canon event or universal experience for most gays. And as someone na nakaranas na nito before, you would think i should have already learned my lesson.

Pero wala eh, tanga tanga at hopeless romantic talaga ako eh, kapag nakatikim lang ng random kindness for the first time sa isang lalaki, at add pa na super relatable niyo pa together, hayst hulog na hulog talaga.

Can't get them out of my head talaga, been dealing with this shit for a couple of months now.

Do you guys have like any eye awakening tips and honestly even any brutal cold advices para ma get rid agad yung wlang lwentang feelings na ito?

And maybe any tips din para maiwasan yung gantung klaseng katangahan in the future?

Thank you my fellow gays 💕, need your tough brutal love here para magising ako.

Problem/Goal: Currently deciding whether a.) ituloy yung pag transfer ko sa ibang college and sa pagshift ng course, or b.) stay na lang sa school and tiisin na lang.

​

Context: Mag third year na sana ako sa school ko this upcoming school year 2026-2027, however dahil sa personal issues regarding sa school, I'm thinking of escaping and transfering schools for my own peace of mind, mental health and maybe sa physical health na rin. Now as for sa details ng personal issues na iyon, it's way too long so siguro in another subreddit ko na lang ikwento lahat, for now to keep it short, lets just say na 1.) i feel like i was used and my efforts weren't paid enough, 2.) Extremely suspicious and dissatisfied sa grades ng binigay ng profs sa class namin and 3.) extremely tired of our course department's bullshit. And as a bonus I think di ko rin naman bet yung course ko in the first place and napilitan lang kasi ng parents ko nung nag enroll ako nung 1st year.

​

Over the past week, i've been researching and going to several college schools para mag inquire sa mga courses nila and sa mga prices ng tuition. Habang ginagawa ko yun ay silently grieving and crying din for my classmates and friends that I would have to abandon and the bonds i would have to leave behind just to protect my sanity. Sobrang sakit, kasi while napaka shitty ng school and i dont feel good sa course ko, the memories we shared with my friends there ay may strong hold sa akin and i'm so scared of throwing it all away, but at the same time, if i dont escape the loop, i'll probably keep on suffering the same shit over and over again and dare i might say na i could probably even 💀 from all the stress and pressure na maari nilang gawin sakin.

​

Anyway tomorrow ay aasikasuhin ko na yung mga last na need pipirmahan sa clearance ko, after which i am now able to obtain yung Transcript of records, Good moral document, and honorable dismissal documment which are essential sa pag transfer ko sa new university na nahanap ko now. And ngl at first madaling sabihin na want ko magtransfer, pero every hour that pass, pabigat nang pabigat yung feeling of losing them. Part of me wants to have a better life that i deserve and take control of my own narrative in the story of my life, but another part of me is naguguilty and iniisip kung sasamahan ko ba friends ko sa times of intense trial and tribulation nila and survive this shitty school and shitty department with a shitty professor together and fight through it al to comfort each other.

​

So this marks the final day for me to reflect everything for the last time whether a.) ituloy ba ang pag transfer to heal and grow and restart a new life, or b.) tiisin na lang yung kagaguhan nila just so i can graduate faster and avoid all this grief of losing my friends.
