<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinanceI am a 22 years old, university graduate in Computer science. Currently, I am working as a game engineer in my country, Vietnam with the salary of about 600 month.I know that the figure seems relatively low to the US standard, but in here, its about third times higher than the average salary so I consider myself to be quite successful compare to normal people in my country. The job is nice, I am doing what I love making video games and the chance for advancement is high and well, generally, things are going really nice.Last week, I received admission in Computer Science Master course from University Bonn Germany. It ranks in the top 150 university in the world and is one of the top university in Germany, so yeah, I really like it. The problem is, I dont have enough money to pursuit my education at said university. Even though the tuition fee is free, the living expense is quite high, around 15,000 Euro for my 2 years education there. I dont have enough money to follow the study there. My parents can provide me some of the money to help, but they can not provide all. I dont think scholarship for that University exist, and because I am not German, I can not ask for a loans from the German government. Best chance would be doing part-time job during my study, but to be honest, considering the workload from a Master course, I dont think I can do good at University if I have a part-time job, and I dont particularly like doing low-level jobs like waiters or such like that either. Knowing that with an education from such University, I might be able to work in some big company in Europe and get a a resident permits, which will earn me a lot more money than I will ever earn, working in Vietnam, but, I dont know, I dont want to leave my country, leave all of my friends, parents and everything behind, and well, what is the point of earning so much money if the cost of living is also relatively high ? It is true that I can buy more thing, enjoy more things and have a higher quality of life with the Germany jobs, but it is quite risky, and I already have a good life in here.So, thoughts ? Should I just leave the university offer and continue with my job in my poor country or should I take a risk and attend the study in Germany ? I WANT learn my the Master course at Germany, but I want to have a good period of life two, like I dont want to spend 2 years of my life working 12 hours a day and spending every other moments worry about weather or not I can make it.What should I do ?  <response>: From what youre saying in your post I assume you dont want to stay in Europe in the long run but go back Vietnam. If so, I think getting a degree in Germany is not really a good idea.This is a bit unrelated, but have you considered doing freelancer work for companies from America or Europe? There are many online portals like upwork and elance where you can find tasks for western companies: You can work from where you live and you will get paid quite well.
