Am I ruining my life?
22f BScN graduate from Ontario, Canada. Recently got my nikkah done. I got my BScN in my home town/lived with my strict parents, and was also pressured to marry early while I wanted more time. I recently got into a masters of public health program in another city, and my parents are afraid to let me live alone. I have not worked much and barely have any money to afford it, but am taking loans and applying to scholarships to cover it. The thing is I feel this masters is the only way to experience freedom before I leave. My husband lives in another country so I will need to leave my life behind and I feel I have not lived it to the fullest. With strict parents the only way to get freedom is education. I am supposed to do rukhsati/walima in 1-2 years. I got into my dream university (queens) but it will be really expensive. Also people from my home country (Pakistan) do not respect nurses so I feel I can earn value with this masters. I do want to work a bit after marriage but it will be difficult in Europe. Am I making the wrong decision in getting this masters?
