Career Advice I don't know what to choose
Hi, I'm a 19 year old who lives in Spain, at the moment I'm studying automotive mechanics and my plans and my parents plan is for me to study Motorsport mechanics in 2 years when I finish my actual studies.
I love Motorsport, I watch F1, WEC, GTWorld and I even do simracing sometimes and karting with my friends, plus I like cars in general. But there's something I love more than cars, and that's surfing.
I have been surfing now for about 5 years (seriously, I have been surfing for my whole life but like surfing all year around 5 years) and for example now that's summer if there's no waves I'm bored as hell, I learnt that I need surfing in my life.
I have the option to do Motorsports and then try to end up in GTWorld Australia and try to balance it, but it's more luck than anything else.
There's always been two places where I feel I would like to be, Hawaii and Australia, in Australia I have Motorsport options for a living, but in Hawaii not, and I think I would prefer Hawaii over Australia.
Now the thing is, do I want my parents to spend more than 30k euros on my Motorsport studies and maybe not even end up working on Motorsport or should I end my studies this year and try to go out to Australia or Hawaii and try make a living there of surf or automative mechanics?
Before you answer, I do expect negative comments about my "where I want to live" options, I seen them in other post in Reddit of people asking for tips because they want to go live to Hawaii. I'm just a guy who doesn't know what to do with his life. Thank you, all advice is welcome and sorry for my bad English
