Here it comes.. The new chapter of my life.
I'll be back to study life after 2 years and continuing pursue my studies in master's degree on Educational Technology.
A lot of my friends and colleagues been asking me: Why are you taking Master course? Is it because your salary will be increasing?
Well, believe it or not my friends, actually I'm still not sure whether my salary will be increasing if I get my master's degree. If it does, then I will be very pleased and happy and it will be like a bonus or reward for me!
I have been asking myself the same questions too before apply for master course.
And the answer to myself are:
1) Be more professional in my occupational field
It will greatly increase my knowledge and expertise in my occupational field!
For example, after my first lesson with Dr. Norasykin in Authoring System, I have learned something new and interesting! I have been always wondering how to create a webpage and now, I'm finally know it and get the chance to create a webpage!! No doubt, taking a master's degree I could advancing my education the next logical step after earning a bachelor's degree. Studying master's degree is a good option to gain fresh and advanced knowledge and even gain confidence in myself!
2) Challenge myself
Earning a master's degree can be about personal growth and self-fulfilment. I always have a thought that bachelor's degree is never enough for me and I think I should have pursue my studies before I get old in my late twenties!
3) Open doors for new experiences and opportunities
Earning a master's degree can bring new focus in my life. I just don't want to be an ordinary teacher who only know teaching and chalk and talk. I want to experience and explore something new that helps and enhance my profession skill.
4) Make myself more well-rounded
Through advance education, it is more adequately prepare me for working in my occupational field and make me a more well-rounded person.
5) Stepping stone to a better future
I believe one day with my master's degree I can archived something better in my occupational field and not just an ordinary teacher.
So.. Why not taking master's degree since I have a great intention and good reasons for it?
