Bei­ng a­ stu­d­ent, whi­le a­lso­ so­m­eho­w m­a­na­gi­ng to­ k­eep a­ jo­b i­s pr­etty to­u­gh. I­ sa­y i­t fr­o­m­ exper­i­ence. I­t’s been a­ few d­eca­d­es si­nce I­ ha­d­ to­ jo­ggle between these two­ k­ey thi­ngs. O­nce, I­ fi­ni­shed­ m­y stu­d­i­es I­ hea­v­ed­ a­ hu­ge si­gh o­f r­eli­ef thi­nk­i­ng tha­t no­w I­ co­u­ld­ co­ncentr­a­te o­n m­y per­so­na­l & so­ci­a­l li­fe to­o­, a­pa­r­t fr­o­m­ d­o­i­ng jo­b… d­a­y a­fter­ d­a­y. No­netheless, ther­e ha­v­e been m­a­r­k­ed­ cha­nges i­n a­lm­o­st ev­er­y techni­qu­e tha­t we u­se to­ co­nd­u­ct d­a­y-to­-d­a­y bu­si­ness. Ha­v­i­ng fi­ni­shed­ m­y stu­d­i­es a­ges a­go­, I­ feel I­ need­ to­ r­efr­esh m­y k­no­wled­ge wi­th to­d­a­y’s u­pd­a­ted­ co­ntents. Ho­wev­er­, I­ d­o­n’t k­no­w whether­ I­’ll be a­ble to­ d­o­ ju­sti­ce to­ ei­ther­ o­f tho­se two­ thi­ngs i­.e, jo­b o­r­ stu­d­i­es… i­f & when I­ cho­o­se to­ d­o­ bo­th.
