Actually I have a delema or a critical situation of making a decission. Coz theres an opportunity comes in my way that I have now the chance to continue my College education which will lead me a better life and better future with a stable job. coz my employer will sponsor my education in return I will serve the company after I finish my college degree. I am very happy but I have a very crucial time of deciding it. Coz I have to work for my family's daily survival. And I have lots of credits to paid for. And if I will study who will buy the milk for my 11 months old son, and foods for my family. But I already decided that I will not study at this time coz it is very hard on my part as well as the part of my family. Opportunity comes once for a life time. If your in my situation what will you do? Did I made the right decission? Thanks for your reply

I am probably the worst person to answer this one but ill give it a try. What i do is try to weigh out the pros and cons, see how it effects my family, friends and myself. And i try to go with my gut instinct the most, which is often wrong (must be the pizza that disrupts it lol). But hey in the end, you`ll get what ya need and hopefully what you want.

I can relate to you absolutely as recently even I got an opportunity of my life time in the form of a new job with 150% hike in my salary and profile as well. But it expected me to leave my parent and love ones behind and after much thinking I let it go. Its you who have to decide what is more important for you and you very well know that you are making a right decision when you chose the ones who are most important to you. But provided you dont regret for it later. So, dont look back and opportunity will knock your gate second time very soon.

If I where in your position then I would have made one thing for sure that atleast have a degree in my hand. Graduation is must at this level. If even that wasn't possible then I will always go with working for my family..!! BUt will always try my level best to study also. Becasue where there is a will there is always a way!! If I can I would even stay up half of the night to study. Because after a certain age human can't study any more(expcetions are always there) But this is my view. So I would try my level best to utilise every time I have. :)

Yes because it is very hard to find a stable job. I will just hope another opportunity to come in my way. But I will never stop pursuing my education, If I can find a chance I will study again. Thank alot with your time.

Ohhh no!!! I feel bad about everything and your situation. You are right you are in the very tough decision. We all knew that life is a choice. And we need to sacrifice either. Its between mind and heart. But dont you know that everything has a reason. All i can say is ask God guidance. And ask your family point of views and how can they help you to decide such decision. Me, i have a lot of problems too. Which i need to decide to work abroad to have a good life and have a big salary in exchange of leaving my kids without a father and mother's love since i am separated. No matter how i tried to think a million times, i cant ever leave my kids in exchange a lot of money and good future. So i work hard and find part time jobs plus my family who is always there to guide me and help at the same time. Dont you know that Education has no age limit? But you child needs to eat and to live... So the decision is still in your hand...Okay???

Hi how are you Miss Gwapako_28! Thanks alot for your valuable idea. Yes I know that "Everything Happens for a Reason,". I already asked the idea of my family and friends bout those things and made a decision of their views. But nowI already decided and I think I made the right decision. Anyway as what you have said education has no age limit and I will be turning to 24 this month not too old yet hehehe. Thanks a lot for your response...

The best way to get over a dilemma is to think hard and think individually. When we hear opinions from our friends, there will be varying opinions and that is only going add up to the dilemma. I always sit alone in dark and think about the situation and i have always been successful in getting over the dilemma by that way.

Hi how are you ah ok. In my case I already formulate a decission and thats the time I will seek ideas with my family and friends coz I believe that two heads are better than one. After getting their ideas, I will think hard at the coner and get the possible positive and negative things and thats the time I will decide wether I will pursue with my decission or adapt the other options. Thank you very much my friend

When i am experiencing a dilemma I pray a lot and harder. I deeply believes in the power of prayer. i had overcame a lot of crisis in my life only because of praying. It is my weapon in getting out of dilemma or trials.
