i am 22yrs old and i am student of master level. i want to go for phd and then some other educational programs. for that i need to work hard and have to concentrate more on my work. the problem is when i make calculation it takes me 8-10 yrs. i feel that if i go for these abjectives i may never enjoy my life like other students. life seems too short for me to covereup everything that i wish. on the other hand if i go for enjoyments it too will end in frustrations i.e no achievments in life. i realy feel that time is running out of my hand. again these acheivments have to end up with life, so struggle for nothing. i am realy confuse about the world and cant gather up.

Do what you feel like at the time you feel it & it will feel right at that time & don't blame your self for feeling right.

If this is really an either/or situation (either work hard now sacrificing enjoyment or start living life today), I'd stay with your education and make the best of it. With the tough route, you'll know you did your best - and will live with that gratification for the rest of your life. On the other hand, the easy route, will leave you wondering if what you could have become. Plus, you took the easy way out - and you'll have to live with that.
You're young - and even with 10yrs of hard work, my guess is the payoff for the next 50 will be well worth it.
Keep this in mind, once you start down a path, it is terribly expensive to adjust. At 33, I don't have the opportunity to choose an alternative path - would have to start from scratch. Best of luck to you -

This is a very serious issue that effects a great many young people. You don't even mention the debt you will start out with for your education.
Personally, I doubt if the future earnings and prestige are worth giving up your entire youth. You know, you could always go back and get your doctorate later. With a masters, there are many excellent options available to you now.
But no one else's values really apply here. You have to make the most of the present or sacrifice for the future. This involves going very deep inside yourself. I wish you the wisdom to make the best choice for yourself.

It sounds like you need a break from your studies, but you worry that it's going to take even longer to get to where you want to be, professionally. There's a balance that can be achieved here, but you have to relinquish your rigid standards. So, it takes a couple more years, because you've allowed yourself some fun. What makes this so difficult for you is that at 22, a year seems so long because you're impatient to get done with it. If you take some time out for fun, it will refresh you, and then when you return to your studies you will go at it with passion, and the years will fly by.

You are young and have lots of time in front of you. Even if it took you up to 10 years. In ten years from now you can have your PhD. and the other goals you dream of. Or, the same 10 years will go by and you won't have it. Which you rather have? By the way, I am 50 yrs old and returned to college this year.

Mr. Yaser, Is that name a combo of yagermeister? Because for a young man on his road to success, with a master level of education ( hint spell check) you sound to me like you might be having the after party thoughts of someone who has had enough to drink.. lay off the partying, get the degrees, then celebrate your achievements with well deserved Gusto!!!

If you go with your heart you will be happier than if you go with what your head is saying. Logic is a wonderful thing but Happiness will make your life the best it can be! Do what feels right for you-not what you think is right for you.
