Hey guys I (26,f) recently graduated from Economics. I study abroad and I sacrificed so much to be here (in Germany). After finishing my bachelors I immediately started a masters program. And I hate it. I want to work full time for many different reasons 1) I’m sick of the student life and living in a shared apartment, not having a driver’s license or a car 2) I can’t apply for the German nationality if I’m still a student so by studying I am delaying this process I am a holder of a very weak passport and this is something I’m aiming for. I’ve been in Germany for too many years to leave without it. I want to move somewhere sunnier, I’m depressed most of the year because of the weather. I don’t want to spend my youth in this country. However, I am very interested in academia and it makes me feel like shit when I try to apply for jobs and I see a masters degree among the requirements. I feel like I am wasting a great opportunity. But on the other hand I also feel like instead of studying for two years I could be getting good work experience instead. Is it realistic to plan for an MBA later on in my career or even a part time masters or is it true what people told me that if I don’t do it now I won’t be inclined to do it later? My current program sucks the life out of me, it is too theoretical, the uni is over an hour away and I have to go everyday which hinders me from my part time job. Please help me!
