So I went to a lecture today that was open to all students.
It was presented by the regional director of communications from one of the worlds biggest media companies and it was super interesting. In a nutshell he said that the future of the media and advertising is entwined with the internet and computer/communications technologies.
As I sat through the lecture, furiously scribbling notes, I realised that I already knew a lot about the new emerging shape of the media industry, although I had failed to connect all of the dots, and I could likely have a successful career combining IT and Business. I also realised that such a career could potentially draw out some of the darker elements of my character... For those of you who don't know, a times in the past I have been manipulative, ruthless and forward thinking, a combination not only suited to masterminding a criminal empire lol but the often morally bankrupt media industry as well.
I got the opportunity to ask him if he felt that Business Computing would be a more useful degree then Computer Science from his company's perspective and he believed that it would be.
I must say the thought of BSc Business Computing sounds more and more alluring as time passes by. However, what is the point if it will lead to a career which could in turn lead me down a dark road?
In terms of my career/education path things have never been clear and when they seem to clear up they often change direction completely. All I know is that God works all things together for my good and as long as my decisions are Christ centred then it will work out in the end.
Where I'll end up? Not entirely sure... Will this road lead to greatness and the glory of God? That is for certain.
