Hi All,
First of all, thanks for creating this forum. It is of much help for us information seeker.=)
Let me start by introducing myself, i am r7_human8y(member name), i am a filipino, 27 yrs of age. Currently I am base in singapore together with my wife. I am working here for almost two years as a consultant in an architectural firm.
I am planning to expand my expertise in Civil Engineering field so I applied for a Master's degree in UK London. Thank God, it was approved and i defer my intake to next early intake which is next year October 2014. I applied in UK rather than here in Singapore because the degree i will be taking is a new field in Engineering and only UK universities pioneered to offer it in the world.
I am very much excited but then again, more questions popping in to my mind.
If I will go to UK and take my masters degree, can I work part time?
If I will work part time will it be enough to support my family(parents)? Knowing the fact that I earned here in sg almost 170k php a month.
If I bring my wife, can she work full time?
How much typically she would earn a month?
I am sending more or less 30k a month to support my family in phil, can I earn it in UK so that while studying I can still support them?
Is it easy to find a job in UK?
Will it be easy for us filipinos to live in UK?
What are the things I should prepare before living UK?
I am passionate enough to pursue my dreams and ambitions in life. This masters degree would be my stepping stone towards working to an elite architectural company and possibly towards my PhD degree.
But I value much more my family rather that pursuing my career, so if all of this will cause them discomfort and financial instability, I would be much willing to set this aside.
So for you guys out there, can you give me an honest advice? Thank you so much!!!
