I’ve been wanting to move out of my Mom’s house for a while, and I originally wanted to move to Florida, but its, price, over-gentrified/fake/resort feel, overpriced mmj program, and Ron DeSantis turned me off, so I decided that I will try to move to Puerto Rico instead, hopefully by next year
anyway, what do y’all have?
After high school I was going to go to university in the country I was born in. Applied, got accepted, got a government scholarship and all - years of work and studying to get a good profile and grades for it.
A month before graduation I ended up deciding to move to a different country with a friend instead, with the idea that we’d work there for a year and then go back home to do university. We moved a week after high school graduation, I never moved back but he did. This was 13 years ago and the best decision I ever made for sure (and he still sometimes regrets going back).
This sounds really interesting, why was it worth it to stay wherever you are?
I don’t live there anymore - I moved again after 3 years to a different country.
It was worth it because I got out of my home country which is a crap place to live - it turned a lot worse over the past decade too.
Also because it was straight after high school, I did not have much going for me in career prospects. I ended up getting a bit lucky and meeting the right person and got a job as a 1st employee in a startup which didnt work out, but has given me so much experience that my career took off afterward and I managed to do quite well for myself.
Just comparing my life to my brother who has basically taken the path I was going to, same type of career as well. My experiences past high school just seem so much better than his was/is. And in all honesty his life has been pretty good compared to the average of other people in my home country.
