Stage 2 · Lesson 3 of 7
Going abroad, or not being allowed to
Going abroad pulls families both ways. Some parents push hard for it: a foreign degree, a job in the Gulf, Europe or North America, money sent home and pride in the family. Others refuse to let a child go, especially a daughter or an only son, because of distance, safety, cost or fear of losing them to another culture.
Either way, the move is usually a family decision more than a personal one. Find out exactly what the objection or the push is about: money, safety, marriage, caring for parents later, or something else. The Higher studies and Tech jobs abroad roadmaps cover the practical side.
