so..my friends around me are all entering college/unis right now.Everyone is walking the "common" path.I wanted to try something different from the crowd.
I got a choice to stay and work in my current place and take up an australian self study/distance learning program,or enter college/uni like the rest.I did some thinking lately,and decided to stay and work and study at the same time.The bad thing is,if i do this,i'll had a hard time making new friends,my friends will be the same old ones from my high school,and little time or limited time to enjoy my youth life.But if everything goes well,i managed to pass the exam and stuff.The chances of me getting a job out there is easier compared to degree holders,and i MAY had an easier time applying for a PR in foreign countries.My parents highly recommend me to choose this path,but they did not force me to do so,i'm the one who makes the decision.
so..is it worth it?
knowledge and a possible bright future,but sacrificing social life?
