Why did I choose Community Development:
I chose this particular course because I wanted to see some changes in our community. I didn’t want it to be done through politics but I like it to be done through my own way.
About my college education:
I learned great things here in UP especially the best approach to handle a community when I start alone as an individual. It is not that important to spend lots of money just to achieve your goal and make the changes I want. All I need is the correct approach on how to start and the succeeding steps to do. For me the most difficult part of my college life is the Exams because I am not that good at objective type of exams and I find it poor to answer most of it. But the most Enjoyable part is going through different communities and applying all the ideas and learning I got.
My current job:
I am Barangay Consultant as well as a Administrator in our Municipal Hall.
Basically as a Consultant I give Good Advice to our fellow people in our area and assist them best possible way I can.
Am I using what I learned in college:
Absolutely, I applied all the learning and ideas I acquired in my College years. I was able to give good advices to troubled people regarding our community development issues.
How long did it take to find a job:
Less than a Month. After graduation I immediately got the job as the Administrator of our Municipal.
Do I recommend studying Community Development:
I would recommend this course to people who does not look for a bountiful life, like getting high pays and above average salaries for them to have a good life. But to people who would like to see their municipal or barangay prosper and have a better community even if the pay is not that good.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
The best advice that I can give to all aspiring Community Development students is that you should have this great Passion. The great Passion why you are doing this kind of job and the big reason why you wanted this course.
