It may seem strange to students these days, but in the mid-2000s when I was preparing for admission to high school, high school students were treated as serious social problems by avoiding science and engineering departments.

Apart from medical schools and some other departments, the so-called universities called the university exceeded this overgrowth, and newspapers reported articles that worried about the blank of science and technology personnel. In fact, in our school, which consisted of a total of 12 classes in the first grade, there were only three classes in science class.

As I was in my senior year of high school, I failed to overcome the pressure of intense management, and I turned to science and technology. In the science less than 100 students, the fourth grade of the whole school received the second grade. If it is difficult to go to medical school, the advice of the surrounding adults to move to the department of medicine was followed.

After worrying, I dropped down the physical textbook and picked up the national history textbook. This choice seemed wise to me until I went to college and wanted to go to college. However, only a few years later, I was one of the graduates of the College of Humanities, crying 'I am sorry for the door' in the midst of the crisis of humanities that followed the evasion of science and engineering.

At the end of the game, I made the best decision at the time, but the result is a surplus manpower in a society where it is difficult to find a job. In the document screening, I often tasted the 'grandeur', and the motivations lamented those adults who lamented that there was no technology to change and pushed us into the pancake station without anticipating the huge wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

However, the social atmosphere of the past, which avoided science and technology, was not just a coincidence. Until the mid-90s, the status of the engineering industry, which was as popular as the medical industry, fell on the floor as the IMF and dot-com collapsed, and those witnessed in front of the nose in the face of steady bankruptcies naturally turned to safety first. . It is because the parents of the time believed that the choice of children and the choice of the children was wider because there were more opportunities for 'stable' career choices, including examinations and examinations of public officials.

When we graduated from college, the moon and science problem, which drove us to a dismal feeling, was nothing compared to the numerous variables that have been waiting for us since. We had to make endless choices in the face of all kinds of problems, including employment, leaving, leaving, marrying, giving birth, and many of them took us to a place entirely different from our original plan.

A friend who has failed to work for several years has passed the examination of public officials and has become an envy of everyone. A friend who has been able to find a job sooner than others can not adapt to his / her work life. (Yes, the latter is my story.)

As my choices grew bigger and smaller, and the changes that followed, my confidence in my regret that I was the biggest mistake in my life that I had moved to high school from science to science was gradually diminished. If I had gone to college at that time, I might have worked harder for a big company, and instead of a frustrated clerical office, I might have been in charge of a horizontal IT start-up.

However, I was able to live my life by writing my own story, because I decided to take a job at Moon University with my artistic disinclination and decided to work as a white-collar worker in a ' Even now it is hard to judge right now whether I am walking the right way.
Perhaps the real thing is not the choice itself, but the attitude towards the results? In Jules Verne's novel, "The 80 Days of the World," there are people betting on whether they can turn the Earth around in 80 days. The main character, Phillies Fogg, puts all his property on the side of "can turn around" and goes directly around the world to prove it.

To succeed, he must arrive in London, 80 days after the start of the betting, with a passport stamped with the stamps of France, India, Egypt, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States. Since there were no airplanes, he carefully analyzed the train and timescale and made a plan, and then he took a servant and went on a journey without delay.

Obviously his journey is stained with all sorts of variables. The train stops quickly, and the boat meets with engine breakdowns and storms and ties the feet for several days. Sometimes it takes time to be trapped in a detention center by being attacked by Indian herds or being thieved. It is not uncommon for the servant to be kidnapped or to listen to the story of a woman who is in a burning crisis. Despite the short journey of a few months, the main character constantly stands at the crossroads of choice, sometimes ineffectually taking the mistake and sometimes his own will.

In that sense, Phillies Fogg's journey resembles our life. The choice that I believed to be the best was found to be the worst, or vice versa. If he is different from ordinary people like me, he is never shaken in front of any variables.

When a running train suddenly stops, when there is a ridiculous statement that "the track is broken" from the mouth of the deputy, he leaves the train without delay and looks for other means of transportation. While other passengers are wasting their time in anger and criticism, he visits the animal keeper of the nearby village and negotiates calmly, eventually arriving at the point where the elephant rides the route through the shortcut.

Fogg succeeds in an 80-day round the world. However, because I have spent almost all of my property on the earth, I can not make a fortune with money from my wager. But he does not care. I do not know what this 80 day trip will lead to in 80 years of life, anyway now.
