Which option will be easiest/most likely to take up again later on? I mean, if you don't do testing/uni now, will you easily be able to get back into it if you change your mind later on?
These decisions always come down to my favourite phrase ... How long is a piece of string.
Personally though my biggest regret is not finishing University and getting my degree. Having a degree is a requirement if you want to live and work overseas (well not completely but honestly it makes it so much easier) and it's surprising how much empahsis can be placed on that piece of paper in terms of employment in both Australia and New Zealand.
Testing. Reasonable money, easy job (although potentially frustrating) and most places always need testers. Can open up more opportunites as at least you are in the door.
Dumb question (but we haven't spoken for ages) but is learning Japanese because you would like to speak Japanese or looking at the future of maybe living and working there?
However I think you have to do what makes you happy (even if in the long run it ends up being the wrong choice).
I acually enjoy testing, i've been doing it for four years lawl i think maybe if i need to move up higher i might need a degree. I'm really not sure.
I have no idea about what people need, they just don't need part time testers here. haha.
I've kind of always been interested in japanese and japanese culture and i'm finding the experience of learning about it interesting, cause i'm studying both about the culture and the language. And also with uni i'm finding, i guess i'm thinking alot more.
I really have no idea of what i want to do with this degree to be honest besides going to go and work for nintendo as a tester :P,although talking to my brother when i last saw him brought up an interesting possbility.
Oh yeah on a side note, when i saw you in december i was an acting test manager, and they offered me a test managers position, but i had to move back to canberra. I really havent been 'just testing' for about 3.5 years, i've fortunately learnt all around testing too.
I guess follow your gut instinct- a part of you knows exactly what your going to do but its more often then not the hardest choice to make and thats why your procrastinating. Good Luck! *hugs*
