Fundamental 'Apottis' About Going Abroad

  1. Koshto. I do not want to give away 3 years of my life.
  2. Money.
  3. Subject line: BBA further?
  4. No academic knack.
  5. Being able to ‘do whatever I want’ here.
  6. Ultimate material benefits not attractive yet. May be a failure to visualize.
  7. Demography and lifestyle doesn’t suit me. (Late Night Works: Was reading Darden blogger Vika Osipenko and learned she kept awake till 4 AM. That’s just not my thing.)
  8. World view – jekhane jemon, make the best of it. Stinks of escapism as well. Also from a view of history. ‘Life’s too short’.
  9. Personality, less ambitious by nature.

 

Insight: It seems like you do not want to study business. Eliminating that removes a lot of problems, but brings in a few as well. Other subjects?

 

At the same time, there are several incentives to going abroad. Good incentives, even great. Some of these are very common, but listing nonetheless, but some are specific to me as well:

  1. +3-5 years into the future; greater hobby advantages.
  2. Much higher income.
  3. Slingshot effect of further traveling.
