and if we decide on something we become something else in the future!!
Who do we have to blame?
ourselves? the system? our parents?
and how to fix it?

Hii there
i agree with you guys about how school systems work in kuwait highschools ..
for me ..i went to collage with no CLUE about what im i gona major in .. and i loveeeeeeeeed desiging .. interior design .. but sadly that didnt open only after 1 and a half year of my studying in kuniv .. and when i went to ask about like changing my major from english linguistics to interior designs the answer was a BIIIIIIG NOO ! .. why ? bcuz .. the system wont recognise well .. i mean the computer system .. this is silly reason number 1 .. 2) bcuz i already began studying and that wont let me go to interior design collage bcuz its for the new studenst .. ( ???????? ??? ) .. and third if i need to change that bad .. i have to drop the course and what a whoooooooole new year and then go in again with a new student number and papers and as if im going to collage all over again to just study designing ! .. they made it like HELL to me .. didnt help me .. i had to do the searching and reading about changing majors .. and they didnt even gave me HOPE about it .
and Guess what … i said Ok .. then i wont change the major khala9 .. i’ll take courses of desiging as Extra cridits … student right saa7 ? kaiiifiii i want to take extra Courses in something I ENJOOOY … and the answer was aaaa BiiiiiiG Extraa Laaaarge .. NOOO !
why ? bcuz the courses are ONLY for those who’s studying desiging .. 7ata desigining 101 .. i cant taaaake it as elective aw shay chethe :””(
i stayed at my major cuz it has languages in it and i loved learning new languges .. guess what ?! there was only german and french class .. and they say ENGLISH LINGUISTICS …
and there is the LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT .. i was think like spaanish .. italiaan … laken .. its KUNIV.
i graduated now from a major that i would not like to work with .. or maybe i will like but not enjooy working with .. so .. i taught my self graphic designing … got courses from intitutes and schools ..
and i wish every day that i would work in the feild of desiging….
and that’s even another stoorrry .. working in something like that .. for now all the places needs an academic degree in desiging .
aaah ya Galbi .. ;/////
Good night .

You guys are hillarious wallah!
I am surprised I understood your dialect seeing as my arabic is pretty limited (I’m a non arab, 8 months studies in Syria) I think our parents generation are so drilled into the fact that you have to study “serious” subjects to get a “serious job” with a “serious” pay.
If you look at most of our societies and cultures, there is no room for following dreams because you have to get your shahada from uni, preferably as a mohandis, tabeeb or the likes (tibb al asnaan will do fine too) and then what? Marriage of course. And to marry you need loads of floos these days. So there is no element of, like we have in the west, a couple meet, they fall inlove, they build a life together, even if it means marrying simply and living in a flat with litte furniture while one studies and the other tries to make a living on his or her dream. You know what I mean? There is just no cultural allowance for it, that is if you wish to live “like others” in the society you are in.
Anyways, a point well raised! And the intro music is super fab!

I totally agree.
My big brother graduated high school with a science degree but when he went to college, he found out that his passion is in Marketing and being a businessman. Honestly, he admits that he was clueless when he was in high school when it comes to deciding a major, so my parents pressured him on science because it can provide the person more “profit” in the future. Now, he’s starting all over again and even though he is older than me by 4 years, we will both gain our bachelors’ next year at the same time. Talk about wasting time…

I loved this episode. Its so true.
Ana, I just graduated last year, I did adabi in highschool (against my will)
And now I’m in college..majoring in something that I have no idea WHY i’m majoring in, and 2nd term I’m switching majors.
I had dreams as a kid, though.
For a long time I wanted to be a chef. Mom thought it was cute for a while..but then as I grew older and older, and still didnt change my mind, istw3bt that I was kinda serious (for a 10 yr old
), and she kinda knocked the idea out of my head (“I’m not paying for you to go to college to learn how to cook!” *laughs* 
)..lool. And there has never been anything that I really wanted to be after that really, I thought I wanted something to do with computers, but seeing that all computer majors have a lot of math in them, and I’m an adabi graduate (and really BAD at math)– no point of even thinking about that! But currently I’ve developed a slight infatuation with writing, and photography.
And of recent – I’d LOVE to major in journalism! But alas, my college doesnt HAVE a journalism major. And for right now I’m just stuck!
Anyways, sorry for the long comment/rant :$

HUH! 3ayal ana qi9ity qi9a! Just read this:
I grew up with no target, entered elementary school with no target, finished high school AGAIN with no target, now I’m an undergraduate student at KU and with no target too; I just didn’t know or think of what would I like to be when I get older; I didn’t have a certain thing in my mind.
First, when I started to study English as a main subject at secondary school, I liked it li2anha lo’3a yedeeda 3aly (o ana tara a7eb at3alam lo’3at) and I wanted to major in English at high school to be then an English teacher. Unfortunately, English major was dropped from the high school. So, I had to change my major to commerce (tijary). I thought by majoring in commerce will help me find me a dream, lol. Decided to continue studying it at Kuwait University, but couldn’t (maqbaloony b3eloom edaryah). Then, I changed my college to Arts, which was FAR from my former major. Now I’m in a major that I didn’t expect myself to major it, which is Masscom. I don’t think that I’ll have a job that is related to my major, shay 6abe3y. I said “NOT journalism.. NO WAY to major it;” I don’t like journalism BS mn 7a’6y el3away I majored in journalism ;/
Now who do YOU blame in my case? No one? Or me?

Oh I luved this one!
I totally can write a story about major-career confusion. BTW it’s not just Kuwait or the gulf or even this half of the world.. In some US schools you don’t have to declare your major until the 2nd year when you’ve sampled enough and figured out your potential. Personally, I changed majors 3 times then did a masters in a 4th major until I finally started to luv and enjoy what I’m doing. It also goes back to our mentality and upbringing– most people I know would rather die than change try as many majors as I did– but then they’re not half as happy! Can’t wait 4 ur next podcast

alla ya36eekom il 3afya guys
I guess the same applies here in Bahrain and the cases are so identical, my brother studied Chemical Engineering and worked in the gulfs biggest chemical companies, after that, guess what happened after being the big shot? He dropped out! Started his own investment business without knowing a thing or studying a thing about it!!
So i guess its all so true what you mentioned, Inshala this perception of what the “work market needs” or “what is the popular major” etc stops leading future students in the wrong path…
great topic!

- Maze: yeah man really blame it on the Italians hahahahaha
- Solo: everyone went through a KILISH MORA tajroooba hehehe.
wala gisitij gisa!!!
and i guess lots of other people went almost through the same experience :/
AGAIN the system plays a big part in guiding us and because of the fact there is no guiding systems telling us, the KIDS, what our futures might turn to, we are lost. I also believe we, as studnets have to enlighted ourselves of what is going on around us where we had to realize that we have to depend on ourselves and be able to search and look for the best option. But the problem is we realize that we need to do so AFTER COLLEGE!!! which is of course too late
i believe now you should have an academic background that would let you know what liked to do before which is English … try to fulfill your dreams and crown them with a good job or project that you’d enjoy
so GOOD LUCK from Deera Chat
- Faisal Husain: thanks bro your comment
- LuLu: i know kids in the states, they just don’t know ween allah 7a6hom … so yeah it is not only us … but i guess they have the system that let them choose what they like to do even in sophomore year of college.
thanks and we just posted our new episode .. listen to it and let us know what you think
- Q8ya: thanks and yeah we know it is a big problem and everyone was in it oo ya leet a7ad yisma3ana … but i guess someday they will because our podcast is open to the public and you can listen to any episode … any time

Wow guys you know what to talk about!
I was in Kuwait for 15 years and I was a straight A student till the end of high school and my dad wanted me to be a doctor or something like that! He’s from Kuwait so he never really stopped to think what do I really want either!!
So now almost 29 just found something I really like doing! Hairdressing!! Almost done with my studies and I’m one of the best in my class!
I’m glad I didn’t have to stay in the Uni in Kuwait, because I was just so board of all that. Now I’m working the job I want and married to the man I chose and I have my dreams!! Not my father’s!
My daughter is 7 and she says she want’s to be a dancer, then she says she want’s to be a Cheff like her dad, then sometimes she wants to be a hairdresser like me! All I tell her, you have all the time you need to decide, and I’ll be there to support your dream!
I’m not going to do the mistake of taking years from my childs life! It’s her life not mine to decide!!
