RE: Your unaverage Korean South African
My dad wanted to escape the social and corporate hierarchy in korea and provide a better future for me and my brother so we immigrated and he started a business there!
And yeah I’ve been thinking about it a lot... I’m majoring in politics and international relations but my passion and interests are completely different and the fields I want to work in don’t really require a degree in IR... tough decision :/
Thanks for reading! ^^
What made you go back to Korea?
Many says that you have to follow your passion but I see a few who were able to find a common ground with their passion and their career. I am sure you can figure that out...
Well I was thinking of going to the states to study, but tuition as an international student was a bit absurd, so I opted to return to Korea since I could manage to pay without having to take a student loan. Also I felt like I should reconnect with my Korean heritage since I had been estranged from the homeland for so long!
There is this saying that it is always good to be back home, no matter what. I suppose that was a good move for you.
