I was wanting some input on what you guys think. I share similar goals and tastes as a lot of people here so I figured this place would be the best to come to for advice.
I have grown sick of my job after 6 years.
So this has been my fantasy. If you guys have suggestions or better alternatives I'm all ears.
I'm 25 years old. I could have $40,000 in savings perhaps come January if I really buckle down until then. Attend the university of Bangkok for a 4 year degree. As it stands today I have $55,000 in my 401k. I figure I could milk that my junior and senior year. So I'm estimating I will have about $70,000 dollars available to me hopefully over the 4 years of my course.
Tuition is 10,000 dollars. I'm not budgeting that in at the moment as I feel I can come up with it somewhere.
I have been to Thailand once before when I was 21 and had an amazing time. What do you guys think? Figuring my budget will be about $1,300 to
$1,500 a month.
I know education wise it is not a popular choice. I'm sure I can get out of it whatever I put in. I just want to have a good time while doing so, go to the gym and get ripped, learn Muay Thai, and focus on making an income doing internet marketing.
Also I really love Japan and a Bachelors degree would allow me the visa to work there. A lot of these university's in Thailand are accredited and I can transfer all of those credits over to a school in the States. I could at least do it for 2 years and if I didn't like it I could graduate from somewhere else.
So at the very end of it all I would be starting all over at 30 with 0 dollars in my pocket and 0 debt, bachelors degree, 4 years of Muay Thai and ping pong that they offer at the school. I can always take my old job back at the end of this. I don't see myself wanting to but if I was hard on money.
What do you guys think? Would that kind of a budget still allow me to have a good time? College appeals to me but I have no desire to live in the states. What would you do. My only alternative that I have came up with that sound promising is taking the 30 day TEFL course in Prague and working there while I complete a degree online.
