Îz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QI’ve got a question here, Alison. Do you think it a good idea for one to choose an alternative way to get to the top if he/she fails to realize his/her original dream? For instance, my friend majors in English literature, and studying in a country where English is spoken is very important to him. Still, because the relatively little financial aid in this major, his chances may prove to be slim. Instead, if he pursue an alternative major, say, education, he may get the access to study abroad. Maybe after one-two years’ MA study he can transfer to Literature. But that will waste almost 2 years of time. Which way should he choose? Any suggestions? Thanks you all.

Îz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QÎz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QMmnn, this is a very difficult situation. I think first, he should certainly try to pursue the major he loves. If he cannot go abroad in this major, he may not be able to go abroad in his other major either. But if this path doesn't work, he can always try another path. Hopefully that path, although different, will be equally interesting to him.
Îz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QÎz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QAnd sometimes, even though we end up on another path than the one we expected/wanted, it is actually a better path for us. You never know!
Îz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QÎz:: Öèenpf.chinabroadcast.cnãZÈ1QSo I guess I don't have any good answers for you. What do our other listeners think?
