Hello dear people on Reddit,
I don’t quite know how this works as I rarely use this app, but I desperately need advice and every single person I know is biased which is why I’ve gathered the guts and hopped onto Reddit. I need an opinion from someone who doesn’t know me. I’ll try to explain my situation in short.
Ever since I was young, I’ve been wanting to emigrate to the UK, Scotland specifically. I’m originally from another country in Europe. I’m not sure why I wanted to move to Scotland as a little girl, but that desire has stuck with me as I grew up and am slowly reaching adulthood. Coincidentally, when I was roughly the age of thirteen, I also made a Scottish friend who nowadays is my best friend, and knowing she’d be there is also somewhat motivating me to go. As many others, I want to go to university, preferably in Scotland since I feel that’d be more convenient for my future, as I’ve always planned going there as an adult (which will be in 2025). However, the prices for university for internationals in the UK since the Brexit are no joke, but I want to be a midwife (sort of) which is just three years, so it should be doable with loans. However, since being a kid, I’ve also wanted to be a pediatrician. Over time I started to settle with midwifery because money within my household is tight and med school would be too expensive, especially in the UK. But the past while I’ve been doubting myself. I could go to med school and fulfill my dream of becoming a pediatrician by using loans, but I’d be unable to emigrate because it’d all be too expensive. If I do emigrate and fulfill the dream of moving to Scotland, I’d be unable to go to med school. I hate how my dreams are attached to one another, I have to choose one and they’re both major decisions. I don’t want to live my life thinking, “if only I had emigrated”, or “if only I had gone to med school”, but I feel like I have no other choice but spend my dying days like that. I just don’t know what to do. I’m not even sure if this is the right place to post it, but I’m so torn. I also apologise if there’s any grammar errors in this post, I’m just exhausted from constantly thinking about this. Please help me.
If anyone I know personally sees this and somehow realises this is me, no you did not.
Thank you for reading all the way through, any type of advice would be greatly appreciated.
