Thinking about taking some career changes in future....need advice

[Dreamer468]

Everyone,

It's been a while since I started thinking about making some changes in my life not now, I future. I'm in my second semester in B.A English degree. I dont seem myself to pass all the exams and get the certificate. I'm also experienced in Typewriting(have certificate my state government).

I decided to make changes after.a lot of thinking. I'm thinking about taking simple jobs and a simple life. My parents pushes me all day about finishing my studies and getting a job. But they dont understand my problems with depression and other things. They are extroverts.

So, I've decided to travel abroad. I've considered New Zealand, Netherlands,p Australia in my list. My english skills aren't very fluent but it will get better as per experience. I need to do things myself. It is dangerous and terrifying but I've to do it.

I know that it as huge step. Facing new environment, no friends or connections might be bad. But I think I will figure it out.

So guys, what do you say??

I think it's a great idea so why not? Grab every opportunity you can in life otherwise you will regret it later. Going round the world was always my biggest dream, and I regret not doing it when I was young and fit enough to be able to. x

I'm explaining more about me. I'm 18. I live in Kerala, India. I've taken BA English in college. I know education is important for students like me in this society at this this time.

But things are different for me. I'm dealing with depression, OCD and other problems. My parents are planning me to get a job hereby where I'll be around them. But I'm tired of everything. I dont know what happened to me. Something has snapped. I don't know what it is.

So I've thinked through it. My parents plan and mine.

Parents plan: if I take their plan, I'd get a job in the department of state government which is well paid, boring and secured my future with pensions other retirement benefits.

My plan: Try my best to complete my degree. Then earn some money because I won't be getting a job immediately after finishing college. Then organize everything and start looking for jobs abroad which easily provides visa(hardest part among the plan). Then after getting stable around their, continue my life their if it suits me.

So that's it. So what do you think??

I was reading about this. Take one step then pray. Then another. It's impossible to plan everything out. Just do one thing at a time. It's ok to try to plan but you may never get anywhere. Does that help?

I say you can do anything you want. You are very bright and I think school is good to do while one is young but it's up to you. Good luck. I'm sure whatever you choose, you will end up being fulfilled by the experience.

I say take the leap! I moved to a different state, knowing no one, being on my own, and took a class. I bet you will have the time of your life!! It will be very liberating! 💕
