20M from Pakistan should I seriously plan to move abroad?
I’m currently studying ACCA and have completed 8 out of 16 papers. I’m also in the 3rd year of my BSc degree.
Lately I’ve been feeling mentally exhausted living in my city. Job opportunities are extremely limited, salaries are very low, and the overall environment feels stressful and unsafe. Even educated people around me struggle financially despite working full-time.
I’m a very introverted person and honestly I’ve started wanting a quieter and more stable life. I don’t care much about luxury anymore I’d genuinely be okay living in a small rented room abroad if it meant better safety, cleaner surroundings, personal space, and more opportunities to grow professionally.
At the same time, moving abroad is a huge decision, especially while still studying.
For people who’ve immigrated or thought about it seriously:
- Did moving actually improve your quality of life?
- Is it worth leaving your home country in your early 20s?
- Should I first complete ACCA and gain experience locally, or start planning my exit now?
I’d really appreciate realistic advice from people with experience.
