Study thoughts

These days while thinking of GMAT and US study, I tried to make it clear why?

It's not that I don't like computers. I have learned many interesting topics as an engineer. "Pursue knowledge for its own sack" - this is the comment that occured consistently on any phychological test that I participated. My ex knew this side of me very well.

Signals and system - how to encode sound and reproduce it? From PCM to DSD, I understand them all.

Computer graphics - image reconstruction from projections, 3D modeling and OpenGL, I can explain them with pictures and the 'camera'.

Algorithms - this is the IQ realm. However the smartest isn't to quest for the lowest computational complexity, but to make smart and efficient heuristics in solving problems.

Electronics and hardware - these are hands-on that I keep having fun with, from modding my own system to evaluate commercial design when making purchase decision.

Despite all these, I feel the career path in the industry is not that good, at least in HK. I am equally interested in the business and management world, from financial, marketing to management. Why not broaden my career choice by doing a business degree?

I don't think it is wise to study for jobs; "I feel the career path in the industry is not that good" is not a strong reason. I still consider interest is the only motivation that can drive you to study. I thick you can only say you are interested in business if you can separate the "business career choices" from "desire to do a business degree". Think twice.

Thanks for your input.

I've added the 2nd part.
