Male student of Hanoi National University graduated with honors in 2 majors at the same time

To achieve this admirable achievement, the 9x guy always sticks to the motto "dare to think, dare to do".

History is not a dry subject.

After graduating with a dual degree, Quy Lam (born in 1999, from Hung Yen) chose a career related to History, because this is his greatest passion.

In response to the opinion that "research is dry, boring, and has low income, making it difficult to get rich", Lam confided: "Research is not a suitable choice for those who want to find a high income and get rich. But in general, research, especially the Social Sciences and Humanities like me, is very interesting. The field of study helps me have a more multidimensional and in-depth view of all issues. In particular, History is not dry and boring as people think.

Student: Vu Quy Lam

I came to History for many reasons, but I think most of all, it was "fate". My parents wanted me to study medicine because my mother was working in this field. Moreover, no one in my family was in the research field. People think that History is difficult to find a job. However, I have been independent since childhood, always self-reliant in all jobs, and determined to do what I like. Since secondary school, I liked social sciences and at that time I dreamed of studying at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Luckily, that dream has come true.

I really like learning about history. Learning about the past has given me a lot of useful information, knowledge, lessons and experiences that can be applied appropriately to the present and the future. After 4 years of university, the profound lesson I received is determination. All difficulties and challenges can be overcome if we really try our best.

According to Quy Lam, to be able to "be solid in the profession" in the field of Historical research, one must first have good thinking, perseverance, meticulousness and creativity. Among them, Lam believes that good thinking is the most important quality, because Historical research requires logic, linking issues, events and information.

After completing the dual degree program and receiving a good graduation result, Quy Lam oriented to a career related to History.

According to the Hung Yen male student, the comment "Studying at university without working in the right field is like wasting 4 years" is true or false depending on each person's point of view. However, Lam himself thinks that 4 years of university are more gained than lost. Because during his time as a student, Lam studied and trained in a dynamic environment.

"Studying at university not only equips and cultivates specialized knowledge, but if you know how to take advantage of and seize opportunities, you will also develop many other necessary skills that are suitable for the job needs of society such as: communication skills, behavior, presentation skills, life skills...

Quy Lam had many valuable experiences as a student.

With the development of society as it is now, besides professional knowledge, soft skills are extremely important factors, deciding success in work. Therefore, when you are a student, it would be a pity if during your school years you only focus on studying, without participating in extracurricular activities, clubs and not spending time learning more soft skills.

In addition, many students graduate and work in fields other than their majors. Not everyone can find a job in the field they studied. Sometimes it is not you who chooses the career, but the career chooses you. After all, our goal is to make money and satisfy our passion.

I really like the saying "attitude is better than qualifications"; no matter what job you want to do, if you want to be successful and sustainable, you must first have a serious attitude towards work, be passionate, enthusiastic and responsible for the job you choose. Even though I did not choose a career related to Law, I have never regretted researching, studying and graduating in this field," Lam shared.

Time pressure is inevitable when studying for a dual degree.

There was a time when Quy Lam also had many difficulties in arranging and balancing his study time and participating in common activities. "There were times when I was very busy, studying for a dual degree, participating in Union and Association activities, and wanting to work part-time. Studying for a dual degree puts time pressure on me. But I focused on solving everything in a planned way and regained balance in my life.

As a result, I have now completed both programs and have excellent academic results. So, don't worry about being disappointed when studying for a dual degree, because all difficulties can be solved with enough determination, effort and scientific arrangement.

Personally, I think that students can both study and participate in group activities to gain experience and challenge themselves. New students should focus on studying more than playing around, and participate in group activities to exchange and learn experiences, but still not neglect their studies. If you want to get a good job and the job you want, try to focus on your major and practice the necessary soft skills," Lam added.

Lam believes that everyone has made mistakes in the past, and has wished for a chance to turn back time to fix it and do it better. But at the present time, Lam thinks differently. Because whatever happened, good or bad, has a reason and contributes to helping people grow up. He appreciates the experiences and mistakes of yesterday that have "tempered" the brave Quy Lam of today.

The image that Quy Lam aims for in his studies and work is a multi-talented, responsible, enthusiastic person with a professional working attitude. Whenever he is under pressure, Lam often looks back at the past, points out his shortcomings, then takes time to calm down, talk with friends, and then comes back to solve the problem.

"I want to tell students that while you are at your most beautiful age, live life to the fullest, pursue your passion, do what you love, constantly learn and practice so that you won't have any regrets later."
