"I'm deciding between X and Y, here are some of my specific concerns, anyone chime in?" "You might die, you're not in control of the future, do what you want" Neat list of platitudes, not really helpful here.
Concerns are just illusions of egoic mind who believe death is not real. There are no concerns in reality. Reality is binary. Either you are alive or not alive.
Thinking too much about keywords. Let go of keywords. Understand you will die one day. Not as a concept. But as the truth. Keywords doesn't matter. Resume doesn't matter. Do what you really want to do. Don't think too much about future. You are not in control of it. Don't analyse too much. It's a scam by your egoic mind. Just do what do you want to do. Where will you choose to go if you don't survive 1 more year? Go…
Ignore this *itpost. I had the chance to study at better universities, but chose a cheap option that got me work experience as soon as possible. I graduated it whilst also doing a full time job. If I were to do it again, I'd probably take on some debt and take more care whilst studying, but at the time the lack of a steady income (hence I worked 75% of my study time) really drove me anxious. I'd say, plan your life a…
I say this as someone who got a GC and dropped out of school to go work on my own startup before going back to do undergrad years later. The degree opens up a lot of options internationally and the US “college experience” is worth the time and money if you’ve got a scholarship.
I think this alone is an incredible opportunity that not many people get in their lives. IMO, you have the rest of your life to focus on your career. And is much better to spend these couple of recession/stagnation years in uni instead of in the professional world.
> Got a near full-tuition scholarship from a T200 public university to study undergrad in the US. US public universities give scholarships to non citizens?
There's always funding available for exceptional students, regardless of where they come from.
But public universities take tax dollars and should be accountable to taxpayers. Given how high tuition has become, I doubt most taxpayers would support academic scholarships for non citizens.
Writing from Germany here. At your age of 20, getting a scholarship to study in the US, if your funding is solid, is a chance you should take almost no-matter-where-from IMO. If only for the college / campus life and living some years on a fundamentally culturally-and-otherwise different continent (OK granted, that's in both cases, US and EU). Although it's unclear whether "joined a startup" means as co-founder, CxO,…
Study in the EU (free) and take a job in the US ($$$).
I'm a naturalized citizen of US from Turkey, and nothing beats us when it comes to opportunities.
Not. Even. Close.
Even if you choose EU job, look for ways to come to US.
