====== Outcome Bias: Difficult Decisions ======

By [[yiler-huang| Yiler Huang]]

===== Choosing to study music in university =====

  - I enjoy studying this subject
  - I think doing music stuff is fun
  - I might be able to continue doing what I like after graduating (if things go well)
  - It only takes 2 years to graduate from a music school
  - The school I want to go to is in Japan, which is relatively close to Taiwan

===== Choosing to study something else in university =====

  - More job opportunity
  - My parents will be more satisfied
  - Higher income in the future
  - More stable income
  - Possibly better life in general

===== Why are these important decisions? =====

This decision can affect my future job application and possibly determine what kind of jobs I would be able to do in the future. If I choose the wrong thing to study, I might not have the abilities or skills the society is demanding, which might result in difficulties in finding jobs or earning money. Choosing a good career is important as it is a big part of what makes a person's life enjoyable or not.

===== Why is it difficult to make the choice =====

It is a difficult choice to make because the career path I choose can decide what I would do for living for over half of my lifetime, and university can affect job applications since companies like to look at what school people went to. I will need to be very careful when making this choice due to how much it can impact my life.
