Q: Tell me about an important decision that you’ve made.
A: The most important thing for me is the direction of my career path. I already have a masters degree in food, science, and nutritions. It’s more about personal health. I have done research about eyes and livers. My teacher told me that I was a genius in the lab and he expected me to get/expected that I can get a good achievement in research. He wanted me to study with him for my PhD. During my second year in my masters, I have already published my English paper in a famous magazine in that industry. It’s the top one magazine in that industry. It’s not a usual achievement. Actually I still want to start my work after I graduated. I didn’t choose the research way.

To be edited:

It’s a food company. Since I just want to experience different type of the working I choose the management and I experienced all the departments…. finally I choose the marketing. I think it’s the right choice in my life. Although I given up my knowledge in science, but I choose the one I really love to. During my student period I have already done lot of the internship. It quite diversified including the journalist and design company and also I also English camp in XDF. I think that I’m the person want to experience the job with full creation, I can make my creative idea to reality. I still think this is the right choice for me although many of my college students are already famous in science area. It’s not the wrong choice and I never regret.
