My choice
Choosing your what direction to go in life is difficult. I personally have been one of those people who never quite knew what I wanted. This resulted in 4 “thinking years” after high school, where I pondered on the thought if it was even beneficial for me to take a higher education.
In order to reach a conclusion, research was important, and I therefore started with my first dilemma “What do I want?”.
A convoluted question that is not exactly the way to answer. But in my 4 years of thinking, I had learned what I definitely did NOT want. I therefore used the exclusion method, and got it boiled down to a few industries. In the selected industries, I looked at job postings, noting what the requirements were, in order to be considered a potential candidate for the job. This therefore answered my second dilemma “Will it be beneficial for me to study?”. Almost all job postings within the selected industries required a higher education, and the answer was therefore clear.
Why CBS? – I had spent the last 4 years abroad, and the idea of coming home to little Denmark was therefor hard. That’s why I chose to study in the largest city in Denmark, to be able to ease the thought of having to go back again. The business industry was the one I was most interested in, and since CBS was located in Copenhagen and offered a wide range of business-related study lines, the choice was obvious.
