Choosing the right career is very hard, jobs security may be an obsolete idea, unless you are willing to go for government job (government job may also not guarantee any job security too). But my advice to you is you need at least master degree to be a government servant, degree is not enough at all, to be a secondary school teacher, need master degree; if you want to be lecturer, you will need phd, treat the higher education as an long term investment, you don't want to regret later in your life if you choose a wrong path, because you loss money, time, and opportunity too(you will see your peer doing better than you, especially those never go to school one, they start having a stable family while you just finish your study, it is very emotional moment). So please think carefully before you decide to further study. (I have many friends go to study and ended up doing very different careers than what they study, it is why I am very worrying about higher education.)
To me higher education, choose it depend on
your field of interest, at least you will enjoy the study, you may end up not doing the career related to that you study after graduate, but it is your choice.
I myself didn't do what I study after graduate, the working environment and studying environment is very difference, also my career cannot pay me enough of money for the job, that is why I change my career. I believe people go to higher education in hope of making more money, but it will usually leave them disappointed.
P/S : you may not believe what I told you, because I know it well, the last time I go for higher education, some old folk told me the same advice, but I didn't take it seriously, because I was so naive and not knowing how this world work, but now I start to feel it that what they told me is something very important, and shouldn't be ignore, this sound like a very discouraging advice but you need to face it, because it is your future, you decide it yourself so you need to take responsible of yourself.
Based on your choice of study, I can assume you
have no idea what you want to study, because all your choice are so random, it is like you are giving the your career a chance to gambling on you. So your mum don't want you to study certain subject, may be it is because you want to choose it but your mum stop you to do so, so what are in your mind? I dunno, please be honest to yourself. If you want to study Econ/business just choose it, and fill in the form Econ/business for pick 1 until pick 12, and each pick for different university, this way you are gambling on university instead of gambling on field of study, which is what I want you to know choose the career that you like, not choose the uni that you like, you study for career not study for uni.
If you are male that go for higher education, it is acceptable, because it is your job to be bread winner no?
But if you are female that go for higher education, my experience tell me, female graduate from uni usually choose to get married after the uni and become house wife, it is a completely waste of time to study uni for them, because they waste the time in uni rather than spend quality time with family. Also those study in private uni is the worst, they are high in debt after graduate, and they are completely clueless of what to do after graduate. This is not funny, they are
screwed in life just because of education. They are getting so old and most of their peers already have happy family at late 20, and those graduate only begun to wondering what’s wrong with their life.
