killamch89 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 If you had the chance to spend a year abroad, would you rather work or study? Working could give you hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of local culture and the job market, while studying might offer academic growth and a more structured environment. Which would you choose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 I would like to study as that will help me improve on the knowledge that I have. It is far more better doing so than just working without learning anything new academically. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always pursue further studies later, but a chance to work abroad feels like a unique way to dive into the culture and gain life-changing skills. That said, if the program or institution for studying is exceptional, I'd reconsider my stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 I’d probably prefer working abroad for the year. As in your free time you have a steady source of income to aid you exploring and enjoying the new country your working in. There again, studying abroad can allow you to gain an insight and a qualification into a higher paying job role killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have a little capital working abroad so you could put aside some and indulge in exploration of said country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted Tuesday at 07:21 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:21 PM (edited) Considering how valuable knowledge is to me, it’s an easy choice. Definitely study. You can still immerse yourself in the culture and enjoy the entire experience. I would love to jump across the pond and explore Europe. But unless I win an extremely high lottery, I’ll never have the money. Edited Tuesday at 07:21 PM by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
