I reached a point where not only I have no idea what to do, but also where I'm just tired of trying to fight !

Reading this, especially because I'm 21, makes me look like a drama-case, but I can assure you I'm not !

I spent my whole life fighting !
First, it was for my parents .. With teachers as parents and a dad with a huge god-complex (totally objective on that one), nothing was good enough (Lowest grade was B)
My first (and only) love lasted 3 years before he passed away .. It destroyed me, and took me over a year to move on !
I'm studying Economics, don't even love what I do ! I did it because, since my parents refused to pay a dime for my education, it was the only promising option in my country (Morocco) I was able to pick under the constant pressure I'm still under until now .
This is my 3rd year, I'm about to get my bachelor degree, and I came to an agreement with my parents that after I get my degree, I get their support for whatever program I want !
I always wanted to be a therapist ! It's just what I was born to do .. !
And since there are no psychology programs (except a private school with the worst reputation ever), I applied for a public university in France !

Tonight, the answer came negative, because they only accept students who just got graduated 2 years ago max . And I don't see myself doing anything else .

Not to mention that the last thing I want is stay in my country .. I can't be myself in any way possible !

I feel like I'll be stuck in a life where I'll never be happy, and I have no idea what to do !

Are there no other universities in other countries that you could apply to? What about England, or even the U.S.? There must be some place other than France where you can apply.

I know you're tired of fighting, but you may have to fight just a little longer if you REALLY want to be a therapist and get out of Morocco. Yes, it's hard to keep fighting at times -- but the end result is well worth it.

I wish you only the best. Please keep us posted in what happens, ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee

Thank you for replying, Lee .

Well the thing is .. Universities in England or the US cost amounts that my parents (or me, if I ever decide to work and save after getting my degree) can't afford !
I am willing to fight more for my dream job, since it's the one thing I seem to care about right now, but I just can't think of anything possible so far .. and it's really frustrating !!

No possibility of a scholarship? I've only attended some university, but not enough to be understanding on the legalities of what can be done. Here in the states we do have student loans, whether a foreign student can apply, I do not know. I do wish you a way out and a realization of your dream. Hugs, bj
