Pack Light Live Full with Carmen Van Kerckhove · Your job used to impress people. That era just ended.By Carmen Van Kerckhove

After a lot of reflection, I’ve left the Master of Educational Neuroscience. A few things pushed the decision. Poor admin was a factor, but more importantly, I realised I hate doing research and I’ve had to face some fears I’ve avoided for a long time. I’ve gone back to the Master of Counselling I started a few years ago.

The neuroscience knowledge is still incredibly valuable and will shape how I practise, but I need something that gives me practical skills to work with people now. I’m not sure a PhD is something I want to pursue, and I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket.

Now I have to decide where to finish the course. I’m enrolled at a private counselling college that has offered me a partial scholarship. They specialise in counselling, which is a strength, but classes run from 5:30 to 9 pm twice a week, which is when I function least well. The other option is returning to the same university where I started. I’ve already completed two units there, and while there’s no scholarship, the structure might suit me better.

Decision fatigue is real.

Deciding whether to go to business school is rarely straightforward. But at the right moment in your career and life, it has the potential to be transformative. I've experienced this myself, and I often hear it from clients. If you're wondering whether business school is right for you, admissions consultant Sadaf Raza shares a few reasons why this investment can make sense.

After lots of handwringing I’ve decided leave my postgrad course at CSU. I was very unhappy with the quality of teaching but could not find a new path forward. Thankfully my partner stepped in today to guide me through making a decision. Thank you my love ❤️
Now to apply for new courses starting later this year or early next year with fingers crossed the learning experience is an improvement.
