Comtemplating

All of a sudden, I'm torn.
At the end of the day, I know that I need to save money.
I need to save $30,000.
And take a leap of faith.

Either
I take a Master of Art in Museum Studies & Curatorial Practices
or
Buy a house & use the money for renovations

Now, I'm not sure what to do.

Originally, I wanted to do a 2-year part-time Masters program at NTU. I mean, from there, I could figure out how to work overseas. I would love to work at one of the museums in Europe. Yes, it would take time to achieve this goal but I think I can do it. Strike it off my bucket list - to work overseas, in Europe once before coming back to Singapore. I don't think I can migrate just yet. I mean, the thought to migrate is there but I would rather work overseas first to see how it feels like before I make further plans to migrate.

Then, there's another thought of wanting to buy a house, preferably a 2-bedded apartment. Then get it renovated and shift out of my parents' house. But that's it. That's the extent of my plan when it comes to buying a house.

Out of the blue, I became torn between the two options. I would rather not have a third option, which I know would only make me more fickle-minded. That's the thing that annoys me right now, I'm not sure why I am torn between my decision. I just need to start saving first and figure it out along the way.

In Shaa' Allah, he will guide me to the correct decision.
