轉換跑道 Switch the professional field

綜觀在雪梨大學研究所課堂上以及休學以後對台灣現況的觀察，發現其audio design 課程與就業上並沒有很實際的應用且有價值性上的明顯落差，因此讓我有回到音樂演奏職業路上的想法。但一段時間的停練加上無奈的意外已經讓我回到音樂職業圈希望渺茫。 這的確是一個比較困難的時刻...

By making a comprehensive observation about teaching in class of USYD and about the present economic society of Taiwan after my suspension from school, I found the graduated Audio program in school that could not be applied practically in career in Taiwan. Because of this difficulty, I had the thought about returning to music performing as my career. A period of time for less practice and the accident, however, had made it very slim for me to go back in music field. It is a more hard time indeed...

在此段期間 電腦音樂創作，應用性IT ， 英語第二外語教學TESOL，商學院，甚至為了符合移民的澳洲會計專業都在我的考慮之內。最後我決定攻讀商學碩士，預計主修行銷和後勤學，我覺得這也是有趣的科目而且也是現階段市場需求的人才。這些領域需要創意以及邏輯的要求，兼顧左右腦的平衡，相當具有挑戰性。我覺得我雖然不奸詐（人家說無奸不成商），但是頭腦還算可以的，這應該也是一個不錯的改行選擇。
During this period, all these professions including computer music composing, applied IT, TESOL, Commerce, and even the Accounting subject which specially fit for the immigrant qualification were under my consideration. Finally, I chose to study the master of Commerce, probably majoring global marketing and logistics. I feel this subject is interesting and the graduates are also manpower on the present market. Being a top person in this field requires good creativity and logical analytic ability, containing the balance between both left and right brain. It is rather challenging. Although I am not a crafty person (people say that you can not be a good business man if you are not somewhat crafty) ha.., my intelligence is ok :) ... so it is perhaps a good career change.


唸完商學院回來應該不至於找不到工作，畢業後能從公司的基層磨練倒是一個好主意。走向商業領域是多采多姿的。但是面對商場的黑暗及複雜，而且我已經超過25了，才要在這個領域剛剛起步，跟著大學就開始讀商科並且有著大大小小實習經驗的眾多高手們競爭，難免有一些擔心。
I think it is not as bad as all that I can not find a job after completing the study. It is a good idea if I can start my career with some basic jobs in commerce. It is colorful in the business world; However, I will face the dark and complex business culture at the same time. It is inevitable that I have some worries about this because I just prepared to go start in this new field and have to compete with many experienced people who studied in commerce from their bachelor also with some intern experiences. Further more, I am over 25 year's old!


因為這一連串的事件，讓我放棄了音樂路，是福是禍其實也很難講。另一方面，音樂工作看起來輕鬆又單純，但有那麼點不食煙火的感覺。我看到現在台灣的經濟不振，新鮮人起薪低，產業外移。我希望能為台灣人近一份心力，在經濟貢獻上打拼，為台灣人的未來努力一些…..有了這一個理想和目標，就比較堅定了我要轉商學的信念和勇氣。
Through a series of issues, I quitted going on the road for music. I don't know it is good or bad. On the other hand, although music job is easy and simple for me, I feel it is a little….far from the most people. I perceived that now the economic condition in Taiwan is dropping. Ex. Low-income for young workers and the manpower moving out, industries moving out… I hope I can do something good to people in Taiwan, making some contributions to our economy. With this ideal and unfinished goal, I have more courage and strong belief to enter in commerce field.


最近台灣政局不穩，經濟指標也落後其他周邊國家。我有點擔憂這裡會成為下一個菲律賓，但是不管怎樣，不管誰執政，不管這裡經濟變的怎樣，我覺得我需要提升能力，在任何情勢下都能養活自己，同時有保持自己身心健康快樂的責任。
Recently, there are signs of political unrest in Taiwan. At the same time the economic data express behind neighbor countries'. I am a little afraid that Taiwan would be the next Philippines. The important thing is that, however the world change, whoever holds the government, I think I need to improve my ability for surviving under any circumstances, and keeping my physical and mental conditions healthy.
