>be student
>signed up for a double degree program
>just found out that studying abroad to obtain second degree is obligatory, and I will have to stay in France for several years because second degree + traineeship + masters and possibly a job there later as well
>I'm absolutely elated and that'd be grand IF I wasn't already studying in an EU country other than my own and in an ltr with a local here
I'm conflicted. I've been incredibly lucky to find a good place to study and have a guy like him, but the job prospects here aren't that great and his education is... subpar to say the least so we'd both be struggling to make ends meet if I do stay.

On the other hand, this is an amazing opportunity, especially for me because I come from a rather poor family. And the day of my leave isn't soon, it's in a few years so I have time yet.

Another issue is the fact that my family is what it is.
>they're something like what yanks call 'white trash'
>mother still upset that I changed my name years ago (it was THAT bad) and am ashamed of my heritiji etc etc
>people there are upset that I'm doing something with my life because doing so means I think I'm better than them, crabs in a bucket and all that
>both parents think I'm unstable and immature and can't wipe my own arse because I'm a woman, and therefore need to be married off ASAP so I can be told what to do by a man who 'knows better'
>because otherwise I'd have ten dicks in me within a week and get high on bags of glue as soon as I'm let off my leash

In a nutshell: I come from a shithole and I don't know whether to force myself to be a min wage worker so I can please my mam and live with my bf or go and study some more and actually have a chance of a decent job but break his heart.
