Why did I choose Environmental Science:
The politician of the town I were living sponsor me a scholar for this course. I received 5k on the every end of sem. He promised to hire me to work at the office. I also had another scholar and I received 3k monthly.
About my college education:
BSES was difficult but the professors was considering to there students. The subjects of my course were many, but the professors giving alternative tasks like making garden and composting fertilizers.
The very difficult subject was the solid waste and environmental impact assessment but the professor gives way to us instead by composting vermicast worms.
The most useful things I learned was the planting vegetables like pechay and okra in the garden because you grow healthy foods to eat.
During exams in my school the professors allowed the students to take home finals or open notes so that we get high grades and got passing. I am graduate with a GPA of 1.51 very high grade. I was a Deans Lister when studying BSES.
My current job:
I am now working to other institution as a research assistance. I survey the people house to house and encoding papers. I also print invitation to programs.
I was also working as secretary in admin office.
Am I using what I learned in college:
Sometimes I garden in school also to help. I plant okra, tomatoes, and pechay. I apply also the lesson to my subject in Research and Thesis I learned on survey and gardening. I work as assistance researcher to office so they teaching us to be pragmatic. The professors also teaching me to not serious every lessons because the BSES course is practical so we always field and not discuss in class.
How long did it take to find a job:
2 months.
Do I recommend studying Environmental Science:
BSES course is in demand in the Philippines because the students was few and go to other courses. Many opportunities like being masterholder or you can work in the DENR and CENRO.
My salary is 15k.
I can maybe promote someday to be masterholder and teach as alumni to my Alma Mater.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
Be responsible always. Be obedience to your professors and the dean of school. Observe campus rules and do not late specially project. Give respect to the school officials. I encourage the coming first year to enroll in our school because it's the center of excellence specially fisheries.
