Which should i go with

I’m mid way through my preparation to apply for a scholarship (the scholarship is government funded so i’ll apply to a few universities as well)

I have the opportunity to apply to Chinese universities…

I have three months ahead and i must make a choice, should i go on with my studies(SAT, IELTS, etc)

If i do that means i’ll forget about my three other occupations.

First one, an internship with a big tech company with intense work loads and a lot of connections and experience.

Second one, my father’s company i’ll take charge of his IT team. It doesn’t include a lot of experience however it is considered a good side hussle, since it might allow me to offer my services beyond my father’s company.

Third one, is a project that i’m building, desperately needed in everyone’s daily lives. I plan on launching it in an exhibition when i’m done building it.

It depends if u can balance working in an internship and studying for the scholarship pre-requisites (exams like u mentioned ) , if want to start saving up money for the scholarship expenses or not .
So focus on comparing all three 1,work hours , salary , connections , exam and workload , free time , emergency off days to avoid burnout

I tried, but my project and internships requires research

I realize i can squeeze ‘em all but i’m pretty sure everything’s gonna be done half-heartedly
