What are the best courses to study in the Philippines?

Well if we will talked about the Philippines only i think we need to see first what is the natural wealth of our country, then after it, decide what you think is best to get and best that can help the society, it is like the return of investment. We live safely in this country, we sometimes get health cards from the local government so i think it is best to return what we are getting. Now what is the natural wealth of our country? Our country is rich in agricultural resources, and natural resources, now think of a course that is related to those resources. And i think after such studies, you will be one hell of a successful individual and will also be hailed by the society for being an asset of it.

Well I think the best answer to this question is from your sisters. First thing to ask them is what are their interest in life. I believe that the best courses suitable for a person would depend on the person's interest and the courses are just there for them to provide the knowledge they are best suited in. For me there is no such thing as best courses to study because if you really like what you are studying that is the best course suited for you. Never make decision because that course is making more money than any other courses. If they like Fine arts as their course then let them explore that area of study and from there you could measure their success on how they made good on that course they chose.

Well, I myself I don't encourage those high school students to take the same course I am now, I'm a 3rd year BSN/Nursing, it's really hard and it needs passion to the sick people and those who need care. I'm not saying that it's not a good career to choose but I'm just saying the consequences that you'll get if this is your choice of career, first it's expensive, second very less good opportunity waiting after passing the board exam, third it's hard on both of your physical and mental. I recommend them to know what they first want to do on their life and what things that they enjoy most doing, because tuition fees are no jokes in college and you don't want to waste the money your parents are providing, right?

hi, what about geology? or geodetic engineering perhaps? i find only a few people are taking up courses like this... i have a few friends who took up this course. they told me that a lot of opportunities await for people with such a degree... (i met these friends in college and wasn't able to shift anymore)...

I agree to the posts here... choosing a course will ultimately depend on what you really love to do after you finish studying... when i graduated in high school, i take BS Accountancy because I thought it tackles all about MATH... but during my four years studying in college, with unstable grades in my major subjects, i realize it it wasn't meant for me... it is so hard to shift course, especially when you have the drive to help your family after you graduate... it was so hard that time that all i can rely on is God... so i step back, think about what i really like... aside from Math, i really like art and graphics... so God gave me a sign... i once heard that "What talent/gifts that the Lord has given you shall make your way to your success..." so now, I'm taking Computer Graphics and Animation... many people asked me why, but I said that this is what I really love... therefore... (thanks for reading to my long story anyway... and sorry ;P) choosing a course is like choosing your destiny... if you don't hold on to what you really love to do and what the Lord wants you to do, you'll be ending up miserably.. you can always take second chances but the time that you spent won't come back anymore.. "To love your work is effective... but to work on what you really love, is more than effecient..." thanks and Godbless you all!

if they want accounting then go to PLM or UP. if they want tourism then go to PUP. if they want Engineering then go to Mapua. if they want Nursing then go to UST or UP. if they want Mass Communications then go to Lyceum or UST. these information are base on the accreditation of the schools and their COE courses.

I agree with the previous post. Let your twin sisters decide which course to take in college. They may base it on their interests or probably which subjects they like. Courses involving computers, such as IT and graphic arts, are in rage nowadays. Enrollment in nursing courses are still high. Many still take business-related courses. It really depends on the person. You can suggest depending on their intelligence or interests, but don't dictate what course they should take.

Ask them what job they want to have. Try to research courses with description and try to discuss on them. Try to find unique courses that they might love to take up since demand courses or we may say common courses might bring them difficulties in finding job because of competition.

There is no such thing as the best course in general because it depends. I wouldn't really interfere with these decisions because I think the best one is the one that you have passion for. If you don't know what it is, then figure out where you'd like to see yourself 10-20 years from now. That's usually the advice I give when people ask me what's a good course to take up.

Your sisters should really be the ones to choose their professions because first of all, their future is what's important here, and second, they should be interested in the course that they will have to take up, or else, they will just be forced to go to school and may not be able to learn well. I myself am taking up BS Psychology right now, and I would say I really enjoy my course. I don't really have regrets in choosing my course because I find it interesting and I somehow feel that this course is suited for me. Well, just an advice, tell them to choose a course that they really want. Being interested in something really gives determination to study. If they indeed find the suitable course for them, they won't even shift courses anymore and thus prevent from further educational expenses. Haha. Take care!:)

Restauranteur, my daughter will take up this course, I want to have a Restaurant

There are a lot of good courses to study here in the Philippines. Accountancy is nice, IT and tech courses i've heard are also in demand. But i would suggest you let your sisters choose their preference or what their love is. I don't regret the fact that i wasn't able to choose my course before but i was really hoping that i could turn back time and choose another course than what i have finished. They might regret it in the end if you choose something they won't love or of their interest. You're a good sis since you don't choose a course for them..just have to guide them all the way. Goodluck to your sisters..
