Young algerian women : what did you choose ? Career Vs marriage
Salam alykoum, I have studied enough religion and listened to religious videos, i aim to be a chaste modest woman and a good wife and a good mother in future in sha Allah. I have observed that high value man who are close to Allah, providers, jealous, protective men on fitra do not want their wives to work , especially in public institutions. I have always excelled academically, my whole life . I am currently studying for my master's degree. My mother wants me to aim for a doctoral degree or pursue a phd. While i have a strong desire to marry a high value man of my type and i have a strong desire to get married young , itll help me get closer to god. For now I will continue pursuing my career . ( idk if im doing the right thing)
Since i am already an honor student.
I got my bachelor's degree with A plus. While, I am currently wearing niqab and i feel my inner conflict intensifying.
Is it right for me to be there, in a secular mixed اختلاط environment seeking a degree, working studying? Or should i impose myself as I am with my niquab in my environment, be myself and work my way towards excellence, since i am capable and ambitious and competent, but how do i stay true to my islamic values and find a high value man to get married to ?
Please algerian muslim youth who have experienced this or something similar, please advice me.
