I need to prepare my exam

I had a coffee chat with my ex boss yesterday afternoon and there is a story about him and he also suffered from the influence caused by the pandemic because his last job was training manager in Dyson but

because of the pandemic influence the company cut down the department he stayed in and it took him a long time to find a new job and it was difficult. He decided to take an opportunity in SZ. He is brave to take the opportunity because he has family in SH.

If you really insist on doing further education you need to study well in the university. If you just want to have a regular career path and accumulate experience a master degree is enough.
The majority of my family members are in education.
I think the school environment makes me feel safe

I try to keep myself competitive.
I am studying MBA courses and he suggested me to consider more skilled courses  / more specialized courses like those that have a strong link with job.

The conversation with him yesterday has influenced me a lot and I am not so sure whether I need to insist or change my way.
