Completly out of edge..need to get away.....

[Persian89]

I need to get away, I feel like I am about to drown, I am suffocating.
Been saving about 60 000 Swedish kronor, thats about 5000 UK pounds.
Working as a helpdesk/Network Operation Central and studying computer science in college, but I don't know. I don't want to be around here anymore.... want to get out.
Was thinking London, maybe get a job there, my own apartment and have orgies.

Shit -_- :/.....

What to do?! Don't want to waste my youth studying 4-6 years... This sucks.

 

[Persian89]

I am not the kind of guy that would wear a suit and be in business meetings and shit. I don't mind just doing the job I have right now but, I don't want to be around here, I want to get away.
Hmm.. was thinking of applying to the same kind of jobs but not here in Sweden, instead in England.
My English is pretty decent, also speak Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish and some Farsi.

Just don't know how to proceed to do so.... :/
Beh these pills make me suicidal.

Well friend....
You dont' say why you want to get out of where you are at now.
That seems kind of important to know what to write to you.
You can have the same sort of job in the UK or anywhere else for that matter. But it'd still be the same job.
I dont' know if you live with your parents or not, but if you do you probably have less expenses than if you lived on your own.
And your 5K in pounds is a lot of money... could be you should stay where you are at and make it 10K or evern 20K. Then you'd have much more opportunity.
I figure your English is very decent. Hell, the way you write in English is better than most of us do.
On the other hand if you do want to get away man, there are lot's of opportunities for an guy like you that is multi lignual.... and you seem to be pretty intelligent to boot.
Just weigh your options carefullly man. Often people get fed up with one thing or another and move on when in reality what they seek is really there at home.
Sometimes it takes a bit of time to figure it all out.
I hope you find what you are seeking though man.
And let us know how it all goes for you. OK?

I am living at home with my parents, with (only) straight friends, I get an occasional fuck buddy but I tend to get too emotional attached.
College right now, but I can't stand the math, makes me disgusted as well as the people there. It's not like it's hard (duuuh) but it is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING.
The only reason I am getting my masters is because of my f*cking parents.
No way I am doing that now.. no fricking way. I need out...NOW.

I think I am going insane, work part time and study, and get drunk. Thats about it.
I can't take it. The problem is we are living in Stockholm, wich is the capital of Sweden, also the best place to live in. If I were to move out, I must go somewhere else, and that sucks. If I were to move to my own place in Stockholm it would still feel like i were living at home, I know it sounds weird but that is how I feel.

There is no other option, I need to leave, been feeling a bit suicidal but I got too many fricking principles to kill my self.

London is a great place, I lived there for a couple of years but, I was there on a company assignment. It is very hard to get a job if you are not a citizen. You need a work visa.

I would suggest that you take a vacation to London and see how hard it would be to get a job. By the way, it is a very expensive city to live in.

Don't need a work visa ^_^

OK, go for a couple of weeks and see what it would be like. Also see if you can work for a company in Sweden that will send you somewhere else; that way they pay for all of the expenses.

As I said earlier, take a couple of weeks off go there and see if you can get a job. If not you can come back home and try a different angle. I love London, I would be there today if I could get a job. Hope you have better luck.

>>>I am not the kind of guy that would wear a suit and be in business meetings and shit.

Neither am I, but I still finished college. Yeah, I got a good book-education from college, but I also learned a lot about myself, found out who I was, and developed into who I now am.

But if you're living at home, and just going to attend classes, you're probably only getting half the picture. If that.

If you gotta get out, get out.

Maybe all you need is a break to give you some perspective. Sometimes taking a breather somewhere else and coming back helps to ease the feelings of being overwhelmed and stagnant.

But if you do and come back and feel the same way, then maybe it's time to relocate somewhere else.

4 - 6 years of study does seem pretty dismal, but you're doing more than studying and learning subjects in college. You're also hanging out with friends, going to parties, attending interesting events. It's what you make of it.

I have always done that, I can do that everywhere.

Well, if you're certain, then go for it.

College isn't for everyone, and sometimes people do fine without it, but a Master's, even a Bachelor's, is a great accomplishment and incredibly useful out in the real world. In fact, Bachelor's degrees are becoming just as a basic a requirement for a steady job as the high school diploma once was.

Sometimes it's worth the investment of time. And if you've already started and you really want to get out, you could either drop everything and strike out on your own or look into accelerating your program and finishing it in two or three years instead of four to six.

Wow, I remember being right where you are. It's a terrible place to be for sure. And all you want is to start over somewhere.

I tend to agree with...

I know it worked for me. When you get away, I think it gives you some perspective and an ability to appreciate what right now seems like a ball and chain. I'd say see what you can do about taking some time off from your program without closing the window of opportunity of coming back.

And speaking to somebody who's been in "school" of some sort now for a decade after high school... I agree it seems like forever. But as stated, making the most of it really helps. But there comes a time when that's not enough and you want something else.

As to moving... there's an old saying.... "wherever you go, there you are." Basically, running from something isn't going to get you what you want. But sometimes you have to it just to prove it to yourself.

Very true... and besides, I don't think London is the solution to whatever problems you have... it would drive me bananas if I had to live there... although it's a great place to visit.

You have a lot going for you. Keep the momentum going and pursue your goals. Don't stop now or make any rash decisions, the future is in your favour.
