You are 21.good.I believe you haven't started or completed your degree.Wait another 4 years to complete your degree or thinking something else?
since your are 21 you have even chances for both .that means get a degree at least or migrate and do studies there and get a decent pay.

I have my family experiences overhear.My younger brother completed degree in In India and he is not coming back.Coz he got a good offer.My wife's two younger brothers(they are twins) got PR got degrees and settled downed in Ausi.But they went there at very young age close to 20.
this is the time for you to migrate or never.Once you spend another 3 years in SL you cant decide what to do .Half way here and half way there.After you migrate you might start from the zero. Doesn't matter coz not many people know you.You can build a foundation and work on it.Get a degree and enhance your carrier.
Suppose you stay in SL and could not find a better job.then you are in trouble.If you can find a good job and get a good educational level ,then for me SL is the best.
As for me, I believe i could acquire both the factors i mentioned above and I am never thinking of moving elsewhere.Since you have already decided to migrate i think its not a bad choice for you.All the best Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


need to add one thing. if someone selected to UNI in SL.... never give up it and go to a foreign country for education. first finish bloody degree then move on.

I personally disagree with that comment machang :)

If you selected for an SL uni and you also have the opportunity to study abroad, then I recommend to study abroad.

You know why?

Well... I have seen many people with Sri Lankan degrees roaming around without a job. Even the standard is low in here, employers offer jobs to the people who've got Aus degrees.

If you do your Bachelors in SL and then come here to do the Masters, again you're in a trouble... Because with a qualification like a masters, you have to become a manager or a team lead etc. Which needs some experience as well.

So many people gets screwed coz of that and again I have seen many roaming around in this case too.

So I think if you have enough money to spend, then better to study abroad from the beginning.

If the person wants to study here and then go back to SL for work, then you're opinion is correct :D

Beleive me pals, threr is no other country like Sri Lanka. I have been to many countries in Asia including India, europe including UK, France, Italy, Netherlands .... and to Australia as well. For a Sri Lankan this is the best country. I have seen and met many Sri Lankans live in other countries who really suffer for being treated as a second class citisans in those countries.

We have problems no doubt! We are to blame for all these problems. It is we who can correct this country and it is we who can make this a paradise.
For us Sri Lankans, Sri Lanka is the best country to live and be happy

    Strongly agree on this part!

    You might get good pay live better quality life, but comes at this cost!

    You have no privileges!! If you go to a hospital you have to pay 3 times more than locals :rolleyes: want to apply for a phone line, internet line, whatever_f*cking line they charge you HUGE deposits, even if you want to further education your *special price* is very different from locals :rolleyes:!!

    You gotta pay to watch Cricket :P like Rs.5000++ per tournament / package, that too will be telecasted only if India or Pakistan plays! :rolleyes:

    Anyway nothing in life is fair, pros and cons is the name of the game!! :dull:

    I hope that other countries are best for university education. (after A/Ls) but not for living.

    Second thing, If you're working for another country and planing to bring huge amount of money to sri lanka, it won't be true. coz these countries have planed before to make you spend money in their country. So, u don't bring here too much. Agree with me?

    Not entirely true, it all comes down to how much you earn!

    If you pay X amount every month for your expenses in that country even if you get much higher salary your expenses wont change much right? its not like your expenses are a fixed percentage of what you earn!

    But the case is different from country to country if you want to apply for PR, Citizenship etc. in those cases you will need huge amount of money to be deposited in their banks! :rolleyes: For example here in Malaysia if you need to settle down you need to have a certain amount deposited in a Malaysian bank, you may use that money later to buy property etc. but initially it will be locked!

    So different countries have different strategies I guess!

    I agree with u. :yes::yes::yes:

    However I don't mean ppl that you are talking about.
    I mean about some ppl who earn a little.;)

    Many countries have planed to change minds of ppl from other countries and make them spend too much money in that country. As a example, I have seen many ppl who went to middle-east countries, earn hardly coz they are not educated. But before they come again, buy what they don't need. They doing so coz they want to show their power and always despise sri lanka and sri lankan culture. However when they come to sri lanka, nothing brought except a huge stuff of toys, TVs (flat panel) , tins of milk powder and many more. After they came, keep buying what they don't need. Within 4 months, money would be over. Then they gotta work in another country. :eek:Why they can't deposit money or complete their house?
    I don't target everyone in middle-east, I mean some ppl !
