.. if given a choice to stay (and study) in Pakistan, or any other foreign country?
I’m confused because this’ll literally be like planning the next 4-5 yrs of my life. I like it here in Canada because this environment is something I’ve gotten comfortable with + its easier for a student to stay here and finance himself. Also because I’ve found the perfect bachelors program and wouldn’t want to give that up. A lot of friends in Pak have said that it’d be stupid to move back to Pak now without getting uni level education here, as that’d drastically improve chances for getting a good job.
Pakistan’s a lil different, it’ll be better because I can concentrate on studies only with no worries about finance. it’ll also presumably provide a better atmosphere for a muslim student. Also because the entire family’s there and thats always a good thing.
Frankly its a tough one. Many ppl face this dilemma every day.
I guess it partly depends on where do you want to spend your life. Pakistan has some darned good schools. But if ultimately you want to settle down in North America or Europe, it will be easier for you, if you continue with education here. If you ultimately plan to settle down in Pakistan or middle east, you might as well, join back your family and forget all these financial woes too, and enjoy these years of your life.
That is not to say that with a good Pakistani education you can not settle anywhere else. If you are good, you are good. There are millions of Pakistanis who got all their education in Pakistan and then moved to these western countries and are doing very well.
Yar Faisal bhai, I do want to settle down in Pakistan, but like I said, wouldn't studying here increase the chances of a good job back in Pak? Friends of mine have scared the hell out of me by saying stuff like 'Achi achi education waley sarak par phir rahey hain' etc.
5-6 years ago, Id have said a foreign education is better. But now, like Faisal said, we have some best of the best colleges and universities, both public and private. Many are affiliated with foreign universities, and give out foreign degrees.
As far as people being on the streets is concerned, that boils down to an individual him/herself. Even folks with foreign degrees gp jobless if they dont go about it with the right attitude. And on the same token, many local graduates make handsome money.
First of all, the way this thread is progressing, it probably will get more focussed responses in "Academic" forum. I am sorry for diverting this one, if your original intent was to discuss it from a family and social perspective.
Re: your question about jobs, please remember one thing. If you are good, you are good and you will get job anywhere. So don't worry about jobs at this point. You focus should be education in a field which (1) you like and (2) which, in your opinion, will be easily marketable few years down the road. I have seen jobless people in Pakistan and I have seen jobless people here too. Not to say that they are incompetent, just that this is the way the economy and job market moves. We don't know, at this point, how it will shape up in the next five years. If you are flexible in your skills and are not hung up to settle in any one place, I am sure you will be able to pursue your career goals much more easily.

I am dieing to move outside and complete my studies and then come back to here.Do ur job where ever u want but if u want to be in computer science and specially in pak MUST COMPLETE UR STUDIES THERE.
settling down is ur answer.. decide if u want to live ur life in pakistan or in america or canada.. and then take ur studies further as to what u think.. the financial problems are now they will remain forever..
