I am not sure if this fits here, sorry.
Basically, I just want a simple life. But part of me wants to complicate it.
I live in London and I am a migrant worker. I could live like this and just work odd jobs here and there and be meh in life. I currently work in a restaurant and it can be depressing sometimes. Too much work for a pittance and abuse from customers.
My other self wants something more. I have been doing my research on getting a uk degree. My bachelors degree from my original country is pretty much useless here :(
Just found out that I need 5 year residency to qualify for maintenance loan. On top of that, I need to take IELTS to prove my proficiency in english. Then I might also be required to take Access Course and Foundation Year before I could even begin to start my chosen degree course.
..and I am already in my late 30's.
SO basically I wasted all those years that I studied back in my country.
I don't know what to do. Should I pursue going back to Uni again and go through all these? (Loan debts, deadlines, thesis, disertations, reports, exams, placements, extra requirements etc.)
.. or just be content with what I am doing now?
IF i go the study route, I'm looking at graduating at 44 or 45.
What would you do in my situation, when part of you wants a simple life and the other part wants something else?
