Random thoughts on academic and future issues

Is studying all about taking up subjects that you can score in? What about your interest? Even if it is tough to score, is it right to give up on it?
It seems like everyone from school don't share the same view as me. They take modules in which they can score in. I take modules which I am interested in. Maybe it explains my CAP that is not as good as the rest of the uni population.
A friend told me that if I had studied, he is sure that I would be able to do well. I wonder what makes him think so highly of me.

When people ask me what do I want to do after I finish school, I really don't have any answer, and it shocks people to know that I have no idea. Maybe I could do office jobs but I highly doubt so. I could apply for something related to my interest in history but I would be fighting against tons of graduates who are 10x more brilliant than myself. I could, of course settle for any random jobs that are available but I'm sure that is not I want.

So after some thoughts, I came up with possible jobs that I would want to apply for:
- I want to be a museum curator, coming into contact with all the history that is kept and shown to the world.
- I want to be a book reviewer who gets to read all the books on the market as my job but before that, I have to brush up on my language foundations which is probably as stable as an elephant trying to stand on its trunk.
- I want to be a translator but of course, I need to possess the skills of being multi-lingual and I mean REALLY multi-lingual with knowledge of probably at least 5 languages.
- I want to be a tour guide who gets to meet different people from all over the place and visit places all over the world.
Now that a few choices are being analysed, nothing is easy. I'll have to figure something out.
