[Dalaran1991]

I was from Vietnam, was smart enough to got a full ride to one of US top liberal arts college, and wasted it studying, well, liberal arts.

While it gives me a very good sense of critical thinking and knowledge, a BA in Sociology doesnt do you shit if you ever want to make a decent living.

Now Im currently in Paris for a Master degree, also in Sociology (in France if u wanna change your study field u have to start over) Being a student in France is the best thing in the world.

I thought I cant stand the corporate world, but now Im doing an internship in one of the most prestigious corporation and frankly its not wonderful, but its bearable, and the $ is good. I quickly realize that being a freelancer/researcher with more autonomy will never quite match this level of income.

But with my degree I have very little chance of entering the corporate world.

I stand now at a crossroad:

1. I could choose to finish my Master in Sociology and spend the next few years trying to find a job with it and see how it goes. IF I do find a job I will make a decent living, though nowhere near the corporate level. Maybe take a gap year or two to travel

2. I apply to one of the biggest business school in Europe (think ESCP and the like) ASAP, take a shit load of loans and 2-3 more years of study. Higher chance of finding good corporate job with good $ to support my game and lifestyle, but has to endure the corporate slave world.

I need to make my decision based on what I want out of life. To have enough $ to support my lifestyle Im looking at 2000 euros a month with appreciating income over the years. And I want enough freedom, which a corporate job will never afford. But somehow having $ offers you another kind of freedom.

I have absolutely no intention of going back to Vietnam atm, maybe much later

Would appreciate some advice on my situation, and also some alternatives to my dilemna.
