i thought i am modern enough to make decision on my own
i thought i have all the freedom i need in doing my life. i thought i am a woman with liberty
it appears everything is not that easy
i really want to pursue my master degree and become a lecture or scientist. But, in this phase, there a conflicting aspect that i should face. eventhough my parents dont state it clearly, i know that they expect me to be married at this time. This idea kind of make me in a difficult situation. at one point, i know they will always support me, but in the other hand i also realize that they have some sort of expectation like i mentioned before. well, for my self, i see there are two options at this time : pursuing master or get a job.
1.Pursuing Master degree
i really want to pursue my master with scholarship. the problem is, it takes about six to seventh month for the process. In the mean time i plan to work as a freelance in one Event Organizer in Jakarta. let say if i got the scholarship, it means i have to study abroad for about two years and back to Indonesia at the age of..umm..25.
Advantages:
Higher education level. Broad opportunities. precious experience. Self development fulfilled.
disadvantages:
my relationship with my bf at stake. Missing 2 years with my family.delayed marriage plan.
2. working
I dont see working as my first priority this time. it doesnt mean i hate working or else, but simply because i feel not that competence or valuable to run a job. i'd love to work and build my career one day, but not with this bachelor degree. i feel like my Bachelor degree is nothing compare to the requirements of the job that i dream about. i am interested in HR, marketing and communication and i plan to be a CEO one day. But again, i feel i still have a lot to learn. so, i'd love to put aside this option. the problem is, i also want to start to be independent financially. well, its a hard decision.
advantages:
independent financially. early career path. Possibility to be married.
disadvantages:
uphold education purpose.life will be repetitively boring (well it depend on the kind of job i get).
