Can you give me an advice?
I have been pondering on my future. I have just finished my high school final tests and the results are better than what I expected them to be. Nevertheless, the questions don't stop coming to my mind. Is it a good idea to go to another island (I live in Canary Islands) in order to study what I want (English philology)?Because of the fact that I don't have the enough money to afford it, I've been considering asking for a loan, that would solve all my problems, but... Will I got a job before the no paying five years end? Will I be able to face that situation? On the other hand, I'm thinking about inscribing me on the Oficial School of Languages on the island I want to study the career. Is it too much learning german and french with the English philology grade at the same time?Please, give me your opinion with the correction ( always welcome ) below. Love, Joel Guerra

Question

Answer

Search for a scholarship that you got a good results and try to continue your study abroad

Answer

I would not recommend taking out a loan, because then you will be paying it back for a long time and will worry about that and getting a job to pay it after you graduate, etc., that will cause you more stress.

If you can afford to stay on your island and go to the language school learning English, German, and French, you may want to do that.  Research shows that learning more than one language at the same time is actually very efficient (faster with fewer resources).  Your have a very good understanding of English and your English will improve as you learn French and German.

As Benjamin suggested, you could also apply for scholarships or grants and work part-time, maybe in a location where you can practice the language(s) you are learning.

Answer

You could also have a small job besides doing your bachelor's degree. Or maybe there are some federal programs who give financial aid to students, see => https://www.mecd.gob.es/educacion/mc/becas-generales/2017-2018/inicio.html

I think it's definitely worth pursuing one's dreams and you will find a way to make it possible. Btw, learning to code might be a skill which could help you earn some money on the side and will also come in handy in almost any career. Start with Python :)
