Hi Guys,
Please give me some advice! Kindly bear with me while I explain my situation. I'm incapable of explaining things briefly :(
I'm 24 year old with a dual bachelor's degree (Physics + Mechanical Engineering Design). I graduated in Aug 2012 and immediately started working as a Design Engineer with Thomas & Betts in Sep 2012. I've been employed ever since and have been enjoying my work. Now, after completing 2 years of work experience, I'm considering to pursue a Master's Degree in Germany. I've already been accepted and I'm all set to resign and go in Sep 2014.
However, my only issue is that although I was extremely sound in academics in my high school (never below 90%), I turned out be quite terrible in my undergrad (final CGPA 7.23/10). It wasn't even the case that I was busy partying and wasting time. I suddenly started feeling that the curriculum was too complicated. In my first year I started out with 5.something and finally managed to reach 7.23 but honestly by the time of graduation I was gasping for breath and waiting for the horror to end!
I used to enjoy studying, but somehow my undergrad tenure has rendered me quite phobic and I feel that I can never excel. Please advice me how to study better for my masters degree. I don't want it to turn out like my Bachelors. I managed to get a good job and somehow the failures while studying never seem to pose any problems in my job. I was quite excellent and got an exceptional performance review both the years! But I really want to pursue masters because the thought that I'm running away from a problem keeps haunting me all the time. I need to prove to myself that I can excel at studies too, just like I excel at my work. I need to do it right this time!
Please help with whatever advice you can share. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!
