Yes you are right .. my career is very important for me .. its a passion for me .. not just for earning money but it is a source of personal satisfaction that i am doing something for my people ..

The problem is i am in Qatar, Middle East.. and there is no university offering postgraduate in psychology .. they have other business & engineering studies even special education but not psychology .. I have to go abroad or either Pakistan to continue my studies & i can't as my parents aren't letting me .. due to illness of my mom ... No one is there to take care of her .. though, in oct my bro is getting married and my parents said that i can leave for my studies after that .. but i am not sure whether it will happen or not .. So i am totally confused .. I dont want to waste my time and at the same time i have no opportunities here ...

Job or money isn't an issue here .. i can work with my studies but non- availability of my field is an issue .. They dont offer any degree in psychology and i cant go to my country or abroad right now .. So i am left with two options, either i should wait for the best time or i should go for online university or for (special education) regular here!

What would be better? :S I know it should be my decision but i need suggestions as i am totally clueless

I don't know your situation - do you have any money for further schooling? Do you have a job? My guess is that an online degree would not be so good, but I'm not sure. Since you have a bachelors, does your school have a career counseling center? These might have information about schools and programs in that field.

You could get a temporary job now to make money to go back to school, or get student loans, etc... don't let you family tie you down to something you don't feel right about
