It's strange that many parents in our country want their children to pursue higher education and chase that enviable pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! They are fully aware of the challenges that are sometimes beyond comprehension!
Every year, there are education fairs held by foreign universities to lure our students promising them jobs and a high lifestyle!
There are many pitfalls that one must be ready to face. Mental toughness, financial status, the ability to live alone in a foreign land without anyone's support, adjusting to a new environment both demographically and educationally needs a lot of tenacity. Some of the students are ill-prepared as they are of the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side!
There's an encouraging reverse brain drain happening as our country is on the cusp of a booming economy! There are many universities that are offering the best for learners, at par with the so called best universities in the world. All these at the comfort of a loving family and less financial burden. The right choices are to be made as our country has an array of opportunities.
One must pursue higher education as knowledge is power and the sky is the limit. Thinking about the pros and the cons, the choice is yours.
