Q1. Which subjects did you enjoy the most in school? Why?

A: I enjoyed Korean literature the most in high school and I enjoyed subjects which relates to History in college.


When I was in high school, I loved to read all kinds of books such as Korean novels, Japanese novels, essays, arts, business and so on. Because I love knowing new things and experiencing various situations indirectly through books. And literature class is the subject that I can acquire those experiences the most.


The reason why I liked subjects relates to History in college is basically the same as above. For instance, Japanese economic class made me understand unique culture of Japanese company better.


Q2. What did (or do) you study in college? Why did you choose that major?

A: I studied economics in college. I choose economics because it is popular major of the college so that I can hired by a large company more easily.


I got into Japanese university and a prominent major of the prominent university decides which company I will be able to apply. Japanese companies barely care about what we learn in class. They care about which university I graduated and what we did in extracurricular activities more. For instance, when I was looking for a job in Japan, remaining seats for the job fair shows differently for me and my friend. Even if we graduated same college, I can only apply for the large company’s job fair only because I chose the prominent major.


Q3. Why do you think majors and careers don’t always align?

A: I think the reason majors and careers don’t always align is that our interests keep changing while we are learning about the major and experiencing lots of new things.
