Who can and Who should pursue Bachelor of Arts Degree
Though it would be easy to say that anyone can pursue a Bachelor of Arts Degree but it wouldn't be easy to say how much one excels in the Arts Degree Course. It's one thing to complete a Course and another thing to excel in it. Engineering and Science Degrees are the most popular and the most pursued. Parents often want their children to be Doctors or Engineers without realising the potential their children hold. Moreover, the amount of work and effort that goes into acquiring a College or University Degree is not even imaginable to a high school student until one finds him or herself in the College / University setting. It is important to know one's strengths and weaknesses. Some people are just not made for Science or Maths. Arts Degree is not just any Degree. The amount of work and effort required for a Bachelor of Arts Degree is almost equivalent. While science students often spend time in the laboratory or in the classroom, Arts students spend the equivalent amount of time attending lectures or working in the library or outside of school. One needs to know his / her strengths and weaknesses and act accordingly. It would be a waste of time and effort in pursuing that aim for which one doesn't put a whole heart. If you are a person who excels at language courses, mathematics, critical thinking, art or music then Arts Degree is meant for you. If one is not sure one can seek guidance from councillors or teachers at the high school level to make sure you are taking the appropriate course load to keep your options open or heading towards the right path in any degree or certificate you wish to achieve in the future.
