I have often thought deeply about my career path, but
As I was preparing for college interviews, such thoughts began to increase, and after much thought, I ended up asking the seniors in my life a question.
I am still immature, so some questions may seem presumptuous or unrealistic.
I would appreciate it if you would read it as if you were looking at your nephew or youngest sibling.
(As I was writing the article, it seems like the introduction became too long.
Seniors who are busy can read from the part marked >.)
First, let me briefly explain myself.
I want to study robotics, especially robotic mechanism design.
Since I was young, I had a strong dream of becoming a robot, so I naturally prepared for the student record comprehensive selection process.
During the preparation process, I learned about various studies related to robot manufacturing.
such as parts design, controller design, robot mechanism design, circuit design, robot control engineering, and robot software development.
Among the various disciplines, the one I judged to be most suitable for me was robotic mechanism design.
I decided that my career path would be robotic mechanism design.
So, I currently have 6 applications submitted to mechanical engineering departments in the Seoul area.
(We are preparing for interviews while waiting for the first presentation.)
As I mentioned earlier, during the process of preparing for the interview, I had many concerns about my career path.
These concerns are mainly about how to achieve my dreams.
It’s a shame, but if I tell you my dream,
I am bringing my imagination to life through robots.
To achieve my dream, I thought it would be appropriate to start a business or become a professor.
(Currently, my desire to become a professor is more than 90%.)
Become Korea’s Dennis Hong and run a robotics research institute like RoMeLa in Korea.
The ultimate goal is to achieve my dream and train younger students.
However, the process is so long and varied that, as someone who has just graduated from high school,
I feel at a loss because I have no way of knowing which path to take to achieve my dream the fastest.

[학부 및 대학원에 대한 질문들입니다]
1. I studied design, control engineering, and software development for three years in high school.
We have been researching various areas of robot manufacturing.
I tried to continue this style of studying even when I went to college.
For example, by diligently taking major courses and design courses while also studying programming languages.
However, in Professor Mo’s interview, robotics is not something to be studied thinly and broadly.
I heard that it means studying one field in depth.
Should I only study robotics mechanism design in depth during my undergraduate career?
Or would it be better to follow the school’s curriculum and experience a variety of academic subjects?
2. I would like to pursue in-depth studies in the United States, a powerful country in robotics.
Would it be better to transfer to a university in the U.S. during undergraduate school?
Or would it be better to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Korea and a master’s degree in the United States?
(Can you also tell us about the pros and cons of studying in the United States?)
3. I would like to directly experience and learn about the UCLA RoMeLa Lab’s system.
What do I need to prepare at the undergraduate level to enter a top graduate school like UCLA?
[교수라는 직업에 대해 궁금한 점들입니다]
1. Are there any obstacles to conducting the research you want?
2. Did you have to give up everything in your daily life, such as family, friends, and hobbies, to get a job as a professor?
[기타 질문]
1. If an undergraduate student expresses his/her intention to attend a graduate school at another school or study abroad
(If you reveal your intention to study abroad in an interview), will your professors not like it?
2. What should I study before entering my first year of mechanical engineering?
Thank you so much for reading this long article.
Every single comment you leave with sincerity will be of great help to me.
