Stay in Canada or move back to China?
I just turned 23, still not being able to complete my certificate in college because I just suck in school, and don't have the heart for it. Probably won't be able to finish it unless my life depends on it. I really ain't a books guy.
I found a full time job recently paying $17 an hr , position as Fleet coordinator for a car rental company. It's pretty much data entry work, go out 1-2 hours a day to scan cars, sometimes check out cars. All in all, a chill job, not much pressure. I have the opportunity to apply for Management trainee position, but thats the front line customer service work which I do not like. Also, I might not even get hired for it because they require you to have some sort of completed post secondary which I don't. It seems like I will have to work in this position until my manager quits/retires and even then I might not get his position because I am young. Not like his position is any better, only thing better is he doesn't have to go outside everyday to scan 300 cars.
Then this opportunity arises, my family owns a metal ware factory in China, it gets by ok , isn't any big money making machine.They're offering me around 3k a month Canadian to go back to work. Since no other siblings are going back to help, I will be the only one of my generation helping there. However, there is language barrier, my mandarin isn't fluent at all and I would need to learn as I go if I return. There's a place for me to stay there as well, so I don't need to pay rent. If I don't go back now, there might not be this chance to go back in 5 years due to the company "might" close down due to my evil uncle taking company's money and feeding his 5 wives with it. Maybe if I work hard enough and learn everything, I can take over the company eventually? If it lives till that long that is...
I have a girlfriend that I've been with for 5 years, she won't be able to move to China with me due to her parents living locally in Canada. Who knows if shes able to in 2 years after shes done her law school? I like her, I would wanna marry her, but it seems like fate has put me to the test on this one. I have a couple close friends here as well, if I leave, I'm gonna feel so miserable and lonely at first when I work in China, but I guess thats inevitable.
I have asked lots of people opinions, seems like most would suggest moving back and trying it out due to the economical rise there. More opportunities etc, but is it really worth potentially sacrificing my loved one, a simple chill life here?
Please any opinions,advice, thoughts would be appreciated.
