Aoa Everyone, I’m 21(M), currently in the final year of my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering. I’m seeking some advice, as I feel a bit confused about my future. Background: I’ve lived a comfortable and privileged life so far (Alhamdulillah). I live in a good house in a reputable housing society. For the past four years, I’ve done side hustles to earn pocket money, which gave me financial independence and freedom. I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with small business ideas, and I still dream of starting one. The Situation: My parents feel that business is unreliable and not a stable career choice. They want me to pursue a path directly related to my degree. My Options: Stay in Pakistan – Live with my parents, find work in my field, and support myself. (They’re financially stable, so I don’t need to support them.) Move abroad – Do a Master’s degree, then build a career and life there. This seems more appealing, since Pakistan’s economy is declining and corporate salaries are low compared to abroad.
