Good day everyone. After careful consideration, I have decided to change this page into a completely professional account, I will be in touch only to speak on science and work. I will be on a private separate account if you need to reach me.

@AmyPanikowski Hey Amy! Thank you for finally responding. That's actually pretty funny that it's considered a subject for slower kids. Also for us we don't have a choice in the subject at the younger grades. So every South Africa is pretty well versed in geography if they went to school

Guys please go into science knowing what you plan on doing. Do your research. If it's too late and you're in the degree still take the time to do career guidance. The danja is in the flexibility of a BSc. I understand why many think its an academic degree which it's not always.

@OratileMogoje I see a lot of chats here. But I think it's such a problem if you guys take on degrees without the proper research. That's when you'll realize you can't leave with just a BSc you'd need to do post grad. I see people comment bout overseas but even there you'll need honors.
