Ungaphuma njani eKholejini (ngaphandle kwengozi)

Ngentwasahlobo yonyaka wam omncinci, ndiyekile ukuphuma ekholejini.

Ndandiqala ukusebenza kwisiqalo, ndanyusa imali, ndafuna ukukwazi ukuyenza ngokusisigxina, kodwa ikholeji yayisendleleni. Ndazazi iintsomi zobugorha zabanye abashiya ikholeji beziqalela iinkampani zabo kwaye ndicinga ukuba kubonakala ngathi yinto yokwenza kwimeko leyo.

Ikholeji yayingazange indifanele. Ndizithiyile izifundo, ndaqonda amabakala ayengenantsingiselo , yayisele ifumana kulungile ekufundeni izinto ndedwa , kwaye ndifuna ukuba nenkululeko ndizifundise ukuthengisa phakathi ezinye izakhono .

Kwaye emva koko ndabaleka ndaya kuvimba endleleni malunga nabani na ofuna ukwenza oku anokuthi angene: Bazali bam. Bobabini babesebenza kakhulu ekholejini kwaye bafuna ukuba okungenani ndithweswe isidanga, kwaye ngokwendalo babengaxakekanga kakhulu ngombono wokuba ndiyeke ngokupheleleyo. Mhlawumbi kuba babesazi ukuba andinakulindela ukubuyela emva.

Ngombulelo, ezinye ezilungileyo zavela ngokunyanzela kwabo. Emva kokuya ngapha nangapha kunye nabo ngaphezulu kwenyanga okanye ezimbini, ndikhubekile kwindlela yokufumana okona kulungileyo kuwo omabini amazwe. Indlela yokuyeka isikolo ungakhange uyeke ngobuchwephesha, kwaye apho wenza kube lula ukubuyela umva ukuba ufuna ukhetho.

Kodwa okokuqala, kufuneka sisuse umbono wokuba nesibindi, ukuqala kwengqondo kwiikholeji.

Kutheni uZuck kunye neeGates bezingengabo abakhaliphileyo beyekile

Xa ucinga ngabafundi abayeka ikholeji bayokulandela iinkampani zabo zokuqalisa, uhlala ucinga ngoMark Zuckerberg okanye uBill Gates. Ngokuqinisekileyo bafumana olona lwaphulelo kuyo. Kwaye ukusuka kumabali abo bexakekile, ucinga ukuba babenesibindi, abasunguli bokuqalisa ubuvulindlela abathi Ndiyazi iinkampani zabo ziya kuphumelela kwaye ziye emhlabeni, ngesibindi beshiya iHarvard ngasemva kwabo.

Nguwo ukulahlekisa . Nasi isizathu.

Akukho namnye kwezi meko ophuma ngokwenene. Abahambi bangene kwi-ofisi yomphathi kwaye bathi hey ndiyayeka, endaweni yoko, bathabatha ikhefu lokungabikho. Le ikhefu lethutyana elivela kwikholeji uninzi lwezikolo oluza kuyivumela, enemigaqo eyahlukeneyo, kodwa zikunika ixesha elininzi njengoko kufuneka uye kwenza nantoni na ekufuneka uyenzile ngaphambi kokuba ubuye. IHarvard ayinayo beka umda ocacileyo ungahamba ixesha elingakanani

Ngoku khawufane ucinge ukuba uyiGates okanye iZuckerberg. Inkampani yakho iqhuba kakuhle, ufuna ukuya kuyo, kodwa ikholeji isendleleni. Ewe, ngethamsanqa kuwe, ungathatha ikhefu lokungabikho, usebenze kwinkampani ukuba ufuna ixesha elingakanani, kwaye ukuba iyaphazamiseka kwaye iyatsha, ungasoloko ubuyela umva.

Zibonakala ngathi zingamadoda akhaliphileyo kuba ye ingxelo ebubuxoki kubo baphumelela. Ukuba omnye wabo uye wasilela kwangoko, ngebebuyile ukuya kugqiba isikolo (okanye baqhubeke nekhefu lokungabikho) kwaye ngekhe sive ngabo.

Olu lukhetho lwakho lokuqala lokuphuma ekholejini ngokukhuselekileyo kwaye eneneni yintoni UAdil Majid wenza ngexesha lakhe leJunior unyaka xa wangena Umdibanisi . Sukuyeka ikholeji, thatha nje ikhefu lokuya kusebenza kuyo nantoni na ofuna ukuyisebenza. Ukuba kuyenzeka uqhubeke ukuthatha ikhefu, kwaye ukuba ayisebenzi, ungahlala ubuyela umva.

Kukho ingozi eyiyo kuwe .

Kodwa kukho enye indlela: indlela endiyithathileyo, eyenza ukuba isivumelwano sibe mnandi.

Ukuyeka ikholeji ngaphandle kobungozi

Eyona ngxaki inkulu ngokuthatha ikhefu esikolweni, njengoko ubuya kuba sekhefu lokungabikho, ngaba ibuyisela umhla kumhla wakho wokuthweswa isidanga. Ukuba awusithandi isikolo ukuqala, emva koko awungekhe uyithande imbono yokuthweswa izidanga nokuba sekumva kwexesha, ungalithatha njani ixesha lokuphumla ngelixa unefuthe elincinci kumhla wokuthweswa isidanga?

Ndikwazile ukuthatha unyaka ndayeka esikolweni ngexesha leJunior yasentwasahlobo kunye nokuwa kweMatriki kwaye ndiphumelele ngexesha. Kuyavunywa, oku kuye kwancedwa kukungena kunye nezinye iikhredithi ze-AP, kodwa iya kuhlala inokwenzeka ngokupheleleyo kumntu ngaphandle kwabo.

Ukuze uyenze, kuya kufuneka ube kumgangatho ophantsi, ubhetyebhetye obukhulu, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba uyenza kakuhle kuyo. Ndifunda ifilosofi kwisikolo sobugcisa kwaye ndingumhlobo nenani labaprofesa bam, elaye lanceda kakhulu ekufumaneni inkxaso yabo yokugenca le nkqubo kancinci. Ukuba ukwimo enkulu, engqongqo kakhulu, oku akunakusebenza. Kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukufumana iiklasi ozifunayo. Kodwa ukuba ufunda into ebhetyebhetye ngakumbi (inxenye yesizathu sokuba nditshintshele kwifilosofi kwasekuqaleni) ke iikhredithi zakho zingavela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kwaye zikukhulule ukwenza oku.

Emva koko, endaweni yokuthatha ikhefu lokungabikho, tshintshela ekubeni ngumfundi osisigxina. Kwiikholeji ezininzi, ungatshintshela ekubeni sisingxungxo kwaye ubhatale imali yokufunda ngokusekwe kwiikhredithi zakho endaweni yokuhlawula umyinge weesemester nganye. Ngamanye amaxesha kuya kufuneka uthethe nomcebisi wakho malunga noku, kwezinye izikolo ungabhalisela iiklasi ezimbalwa kwaye kwenzeka ngokuzenzekelayo.

Ngoku, nantoni na ofuna ukuchitha ixesha lakho ungayi esikolweni usebenza kuyo, kuya kufuneka ufumane unjingalwazi okanye isebe ubuncinci elinxulumene nento osebenza kuyo onokwenza isifundo esenzelwe ukubolekisa ngetyala.

Ndiqale ngecandelo lezamashishini. Kuba bendisebenza kwisiqalo, ndafumana uprofesa wezorhwebo onamava ngokuqokelela imali, kwaye ndambeka ngokwenza isifundo esijolise ngqo apho ndiza kusebenza naye ekwenzeni izinto zokuqokelela imali ezinje ngee-decks kunye ne-spreadsheets zabatyali, wayeza kundinika ingxelo ngayo kwaye andincede ndiyiphucule, kwaye ndiza kufumana ikhredithi yekhosi. Nguwo wonke lo msebenzi bendiya kuwenza nangona kunjalo, wayenjalo umcebisi oxabisekileyo , kwaye ingxelo yayiluncedo ekuyiphuculeni, ngoko ke ndandifumana iikhredithi ezixabisekileyo zeklasi ngomsebenzi ongaphezulu kwe-zero.

Emva koko, ndaya kwisebe lezentanda-bulumko ndaza ndawabeka ekwenzeni izifundo zokuziphatha kakuhle kwezorhwebo. Ndadibana nonjingalwazi rhoqo kwiiveki ezimbini ukuxoxa ngayo, emva koko ndabhala iphepha lokugqibela ekupheleni kwekota (yayingaphantsi kwamaphepha ayi-10 kwaye ndabhabha ngobusuku obunye), ndafumana enye ikhosi enesiqingatha seekhredithi.

Kwisemester enye, ndafumana iikhosi ezimbini ezinesiqingatha zeekhredithi ngelixa ndenza phantse kungekho msebenzi kubo, kwaye ngaphandle kokuthatha naziphi na izifundo. Emva koko ndenza into efanayo ekwindla, kwaye ngelixesha ndibuyela ekholejini, endaweni yokuba ndishiye unyaka ngasemva, ndandingasayi kuba semester ngasemva kwaye kwakulula ukufumana ezinye iiklasi ezongezelelweyo. Ngcono nangakumbi, ibala lalilula ngokungenakulinganiswa kubazali bam, kuba ndandingasayi kuyeki nyani, ndithatha iiklasi ezimbalwa.

Nabani na unokuyiphinda le nto. Fumana uprofesa onokuthi usebenze naye kwaye ufumane isikolo sakho ukuba samkele iikhredithi zokufunda ezijoliswe kuyo, kwaye uya kufumana inkqubela phambili yamahhala ukuya kwinqanaba lakho ngelixa wenza Umsebenzi ofuna ukuwenza kunjalo.

Ukuba into osebenza kuyo ithatha indawo, uya kuba kwimeko entle yokungena konke kwaye usebenzise ngokupheleleyo amava.

Kwaye ukuba ayenzi njalo kwaye ufuna ukuya kugqiba ikholeji njengam, uya kuba kwimeko engcono kakhulu yokubuyela umva ngaphandle kokufumana ixesha elilahlekileyo.
