VOICES Bi-Monthly Magazine of the University of Technology, Jamaica | September – December 2021 16 I decided to pursue a Bachelors in Education, majoring in Business and Computer Studies as I felt that it was the programme which best suited my prior learning experiences. From my days as a student at The Morant Bay High School, I had been engrossed by the Business subjects, and could be seen on the edge of my seat in the front row of each session. The teaching facet of my programme also adds to my marketability as a university graduate, as I can either choose to pursue a career in Teaching or in Industry. What was your major and why did you choose it? Trodayne Hamilton Bachelor of Education TVET in Business and Computer Studies, Faculty of Education and Liberal Studies (First Class Honours) What were the challenges faced in pursuing your degree? Like any other university student, I had financial challenges, emotional breakdowns and the stress of just being a university student. However, I’m grateful I had encountered these challenges and many more as they have made me the woman I am today. I have no regrets. Abbie-Ann Clarke Bachelor of Science in Dental Laboratory Technology, Joint Colleges of Medicine, Oral Health and Veterinary Sciences (First Class Honours) STUDENT VOICES cont’d What advice would you give to current UTech, Jamaica students? Whatever your choice of career, make sure you’re doing it because you truly want to. Not because your mother, father, or society tells you to. When the going gets tough, your passion and drive will keep you going. Also when you’re doing something you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life. Life will be happier when you do it for you. Saffron Maxwell Bachelor of Arts in Apparel Design Production and Management, Faculty of Education and Liberal Studies (First Class Honours)
