Would you choose a somewhat comfortable life in the Philippines or mag migrate to another country (student visa literally start from 0)?
Context: Nagiisip ako on whether or not I should:
- Pursue studying in another country: student visa tapos live with my sibling and asawa niya for a while, then I’ll eventually have to pay them back. Iniisip ko baka mabaon ako sa utang lalo na limited working hours lang din if student visa, plus I’ll be contributing there sakanila. I’ll also have a very hard time adjusting lalo na di ako marunong sa chores and yung whole independent life thing. Grew up having help sa bahay kaya laking adjustment for me being coddled my whole life. Though aware rin ako na this might be just what I need to actually grow up. lalo na coddled growing up.
Nakausap ko na rin parents ko about this, and sabi ng dad ko he’s willing to lend me muna habang mag adjust and hanap ako ng work. BUT he’s been supporting us his whole life. As in senior na siya and he should be retired already, pero binubuhay niya pa yung anak ng kapatid ko (lol) and kapatid ko and wife niya mismo. Mid 60s na rin parents ko so ayun kaguilty
- Stay here pero may opportunity rin. Nakausap ko na parents ko about this and nag open nga sila ng option. Kasi if dito raw, merong franchise na kunin tapos ipapangalan sakin and ako mag manage. Plus yung business ng mom ko. Tas ako rin pinaaasikaso ng rental unit namin which I get commission from din. This is the comfortable option for me kasi mas ‘sure,’ and in a way, less riskier than moving to another country and literally starting from 0 tas baka mahirapan pa ako mag hanap ng job doon
So feel ko either
1: I get to go out of my comfort zone (which is always good, but not always easy lol ofc. Plus no guarantee ill make it. And baka mabaon sa utang). Pero I’ll learn a lot more sa life I guess? and other people, life in general
2: stay in my comfort zone, and safer choice kaso i feel like mas mag grow ako sa #1 regardless of yung outcome. Pero mas ‘guaranteed’ in a way yung pera lol
I’m not sure which I want more yet kasi I want both LOL. Though I won’t be solely basing on the opinions of others, need ko rin ng insights that might help me in deciding
