Hello guys. I'm here looking for your wise-advice. I'm about to take an important decision, and I don't want to screw it up.

I am a mexican student, 22 years old, soon-to-be-engineer. And I'm doing good in my profession. There is no point in telling how much I earn, because the deference between dollars and mexican pesos is ridiculously huge.

I'm still studying, and I already have a good job, earning slightly more than a just graduated engineer.

The thing is, if I continue this way I'm sure by the end of this year I'll be able to buy a car (used but good) and become independent of my parents. By the next year I can easily get a promotion in my job, with the subsequent salary raise.

So in short, the future is bright if I continue this way. But to be honest, my life now is kinda boring too.

Some weeks ago, I received a mail from one of the best universities of Lima, Peru. They're accepting me to study my last cycle in that university. This is a great opportunity. It's great for the curricular value by itself.

But most important, it would be great to spend five complete months in a whole different country, with the beach so close, with new people to meet, new experiences to live, with so few responsibilities and so much time to myself.

It would be a big time off in my life, before I get back to Mexico and continue my profesional development. I already feel I need this break, I need to find myself and this is the perfect chance.

The bad thing? That I'll lost a big part of my professional progress so far. If I go to Peru, I must quit my job. And when I come back I must start from nearly zero. Anyway I'm pretty sure that somehow I'll recover quickly. And soon I'll be in a good position, even better than my current one.

And... you now what? While I was writting this, I already made my decision. I think I just had to put my ideas in order. It is true that the best counselor is oneself.

I mean, I'm not going to marry or anything, so what's the rush? Let's enjoy life. I'm going to Peru. I can even study a third language there, and when I come back my value will be higher.

I'm publishing this anyway. Thanks for read. And any comments are welcome.

Peace.
