Help me pls. Two options, pick one!!

Okay, lets say you're 19. You're given two option. One, study (by the help of full scholarship) and in three years time you will be working with fixed job with considerably great amount of salary, you will be well off but never rich with this kind of job. And you're not interested in this job at all but get to stay close to your family.

Two, going after your dream. Study for not more than 5 years (with your own money) but theres no guarantee that you will get the job but if you do you can be rich not instantly, but yes eventually. You most probably going to be away from your family. But you're happy because its your dream.

If you're given this options which one will you pick?

Just it costs me a few grand every year to go home.

other than that no regrets? you're happy now?

okay so I wanna ask why option 2? any reasons?

Option 2, it would make me happier in the long run.

There's not enough information. What are the two fields, starting + median salary of each, and the amount of debt you'll accumulate with choice 2? You don't want to be one of those students who go to their dream college to pursue their dream career and end up with way more debt than they can handle.

Option 2. Even if it doesn't work out, you can at least say that you tried and have less regrets.

Option 1 is what I believe most people go for, it's the safe option. But it wouldn't be as rewarding as succeeding with option 2.

However, I would try to do some job shadowing for your 'dream job' to make sure that it's what you want.

Option 2.

I'm so afraid of making bad decision. I feel like my life depends on this one decision. Right now I'm in the airport waiting to board. And I'm choosing the 2nd option. I need some mental support.

If you're sitting in the airport, ready to depart on your dream ..... and have zero support, in where you have to come to a forum of random strangers to get support .... then you're fucking up way worse than career choices.

It means - you don't any person in your life who agrees with your decision and nobody is backing you up.

If no person is backing you up ... then that means they all believe you are fucking up.

You should consider that they might be right. The fact that you don't consider that they might be right is an indication to me that you don't have enough senses to make a sound judgment call.
