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!
