Describe an advice you received on your subjects or work

You should say:

Models Answer:

Everyone faces situations when one is in a dilemma and needs help in deciding things.
I remember, after my schooling, I was confused about what course should I opt for my further studies as I did not want to opt for traditional courses like engineering or medicine.
I wanted an option which would provide me a bright future and at the same time should be interesting as well.
I searched a lot on the internet about alternative courses and colleges but as there was too much information, i got more confused.
So, I decided to consult my elder sister who is living in Canada.
She is working in the Media and entertainment industry.
When I asked her for advice, she suggested me to pursue a course in Animation as she knew about my interests in this field.
She also suggested me some good colleges in Canada for this course and she explained me about the job opportunities that I will get after completing this course.
Animation is quite popular these days and in future there will be a huge demand for people who are certified in this field.
My family also liked the idea when I told them that I have finally decided to pursue a course in Animation.
So, this was the advice that my sister gave on a crucial decision of my life.
