What Should I Do With My Life?

[Petalo2]

Hello,
I am a 20 something girl who is right now without a job and living again with her parents after I came back home from an internship. In this moment of my life I have two options:
– Stay in my home town waiting to get a proper job (it could take some time)
– Go back to the country I worked before and do there an internship that is unpaid.
I dont know what to do because if I stay home with my parents I could safe some money meanwhile I am searching for jobs, but if I do the unpaid internship I could earn some experience which is good and a plus to get a job.

What should I do?

Thank you very much for your time.

It is so difficult to save money for a mortgage these days. If I was you, I would stay with your parents and save, save save.

I'm guessing your in the USA ?.
This is a UK bases site. Different ways of doing things here.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever you chose to do though.

I life in Europe but the country I am thinking to come back is a bit more expensive than my home country

Getting experience is better. It could lead to better things. Do the internship but cannot you get a part time evening or weekend job to help with savings?

How do you live if you do an unpaid internship ?.

Without more detail it's hard to answer your question, and if your not in the Uk we don't all understand the dynamics of your country.

I am searching for a job in every EU country but because of my lack of experience (not even a year) it is so difficult to get a proper job in a short time. I finish a very important internship not even a month ago and now I have to search for something to do.

Whatever you truly want to do. It's your life. You are aware of the obvious advantages and disadvantages of both. What are you hoping someone will tell you to do ?

If you can afford to do another internship and it's relevent to what you would like in a career, I would say go for it. Experience is always valuable on a CV. Just remember, you have most of your life ahead of you. Have fun, work hard and make mistakes your while you are still young.

As said in earlier posts it's difficult to asses without knowing full details, without telling you what to do my best suggestion is whatever you feel more comfortable doing and makes you the happiest.

...Good luck BTW, whatever you decide.

I would say to live at home for a year to work and save. The work you do will still be valuable on your CV, and you're only 20 so you have plenty of time! And the money you save will support you in another internship.

Sensible advice from anthro-nerd .

Could you find a job with accommodation ? Such as in a hotel. You will have your bed and board supplied, and no travel expenses. You would be able to save almost all your earnings, and gain experience at the same time. You might have to work odd hours, but it might be worth while.

Stay until you get a proper job and you will maybe get more money
