About my college education:
It is very hard, but it is fun. A student will need to exert a lot of effort in order to pass his subjects. They say that it is difficult to enter UP, but the truth is, it's more difficult to leave (i.e. To graduate). But nonetheless, with perseverance and patience, nothing is unachievable.
My current job:
Electronics and Instrumentation Technician
Am I using what I learned in college:
The theories are applicable to my current work but what I think is more important are the values ingrained to me by my professors. Something that you cannot read from any textbook.
How long did it take to find a job:
I was able to find a job right after graduation.
Do I recommend studying Applied Physics:
Yes. There are many options for an Applied Physics graduate. If you are lucky, then you can get a high starting rate, but usually, it may take time before you have higher salary. Well, I guess that will be depending on the company. But high salary or not, I think this is a very fulfilling career!
