Graduating with a Bachelor of Marketing degree after 3 years of slaving of it brought me to a realization that.
I don't know how to apply them in real life.
I’m serious when i say this. The ability to portray the skills as written in theory is the actual test of graduating. Its frustrating to know that I feel so hopeless when i cant seem to recall theories or put them into practice.
Selling pasta so far has been fun. But to earn a decent margin, something better has to take place. be it better methods (more legal ones at least), or better ways to reduce cost (but i dont want to reduce the quality). oh dear. it is a struggle. (notes to self : what? so fast? its only day 3.)
Today’s attempt was spent standing at the stall we opened under the lamp post, looking at the crowd automatically walk to the chee cheong fun lady opposite. somehow their eyes and legs were affixed to only that one destination. Even the burger seller was looking at the crowd queuing up for chee cheong fun.
Dealing with students is not easy. I cant say i understand UTAR students even after studying here for 3 years. The mindset is just so hard to comprehend. its unpredictable. But like what alicia said, we have to create the need for good pasta in order to sell well.
Maybe its just the dejected mode that kicks in once in a while. Or it could just be the plateau in brainstorming that cause that momentary dejection. Anyway, Im not giving up. Venture all the way! Press on and improve! =)
