My parents offered me the choice. A new car or enough money to backpack through europe.
I really want to do the backpacking, but I don't want to have to take off of school for it.
I am a full time college student and would have to take the time off to travel (obviously).
If I were to get the car, I would finish school, start working as an RN and travel on my own later one (several years from now).
I have a car that works well now (but is a cheap "first car" junker-although I love it) and I REALLY want to travel.
What would you do?
Most people are telling me to do the backpacking thing, but I really want to get through school and get it over with.
Please help!
Thank you to everyone who answered.
*Just want to clarify-I do not come from money, my parents are recieving money from a lawsuit and want to reward me for excelling in school. The chance to be handed that amount of money at once won't really happen again, so I think that I will travel.
I haven't researched anything yet, so thank you for the helpful information. I do want to backpack through some of Asia, India and Egypt, so who knows what I'll end up doing after I research everything.
I am incrediablly grateful to my parents to be giving me this opportunity and know I am blessed. I am not a spoiled "rich kid" and have had to work very hard to be where I'm at now.
Thank you again.
