PLZ give an HONEST OPINION on my CAREER and future paths
Hi,
First thanks for spending your valuable time for me :)
I am from Korea, 29 years old.
Have experience of working as a presenter, associate marketer and lieutenant in the Korean Army.
I wanted to do something meaningful and honorable for my country, so I applied to be enlisted in the ARMY. Worked for 2 and a half year and got dismissed.
After, I wanted to become a Content Creator since I loved filming and operating my social accounts. However, I couldn't earn much money and eventually applied to a corporate job.
I did not give up but, I feel too weak(?) and vulnerable to do it yet..
This is my short resume
2020 Mar - 2022 June | Korean ARMY First Lieutenant
2023 Jan - 2023 July | PR Agency'medicom' Account Executive
2023 Sep - 2023 Dec | PR Agency 'Edelman' Account Executive Intern
2024 Sep - 2025 Mar | News Paper Company 'Herald' SNS Operator (Contract)
2025 Apr - 2025 Sep | Samsung Partner Company 'In&Com' Presenter
2025 Oct - Current | Defense Company 'Hanwha Systems' Presenter
Things I’m trying to figure out:
- Is a Master’s in Communication or MBA worth it in the US? (in my situation since I am currently in a contract role)
- Will it boost my career prospects or salary in the long run?
- Would the degree help me get into a communications/marketing role in the US?
- Or is it better to continue gaining experience in South Korea and aim for a degree in the future after the current administration?
Would really appreciate honest advice on this.
Thanks! : )
