Work / Want to move back to Poland after graduating high school to study more [7]
Thank you so much that, it almost made the decision for me.
The only thing I'm worried about is living paycheck to paycheck and never having enough money for anything.
Poland is your home in your heart and it is your destiny to be there.

Work / Want to move back to Poland after graduating high school to study more [7]
Hello everyone I'm 17, living in Chicago and about to be a senior in high school.
After a recent trip to Poland I decided I would really love to move back there after I graduate high school but I'm conflicted because of the education system and what-not.
I was born in Poland, came to the US when i was 5 and have been here since. I know polish very well, just graduated polish school, and I have family around the Tarnow/Krakow area.
I scored fairly well on my ACT (30) but I have no idea what field I would want to go into.
Obviously college in Poland is much much cheaper than any college in the US so that's a good thing.
The thing is, I'm afraid if I do decide to go to college in Poland, that I won't be able to get a job there and I'll have to go back to the US for work and then I'll have wasted all that time that I could have been going to college in the US.
I really want to go to school there to be in the same country as my family but I just really don't know if that's the smartest thing to do regarding my future. When i think about going to college in the US and being away from my family for that long it makes me want to go to school there even more.
If I did move there, I would be moving there with my parents so I would still be somewhat supported financially.
Any advice? :( I'm literally just torn because I know the US schools are better but I think there's no point in going to a US school if I plan on staying and living in Poland for the rest of my life.
So that's that, any feedback would be appreciated!
