At that time, the craze for studying abroad has increased, which is seen everywhere in cities and villages. Millions of students have gone and millions are preparing to go. Then the question arises whether the students who go abroad for study are really going to study or to earn money? In fact, those who want to study abroad should take a decision after thinking deeply about some things. Are you really going to study? If yes, can such a course be done in India at low fees? If you are going to study it means that you are interested in that course. You will do the same job or business in future. Will this be possible? Did you know that there are very few people who have studied abroad for jobs or businesses? The true fact is that most of the students don't want to study but study whatever they want to settle in that country and earn money. Do you know that the situation between five-fifteen years ago and today has changed? Today, most of the students choose that country because they can easily go to it, so the number of students there increases. This reduces the quality of education and the quantity of jobs. Problems grow. Know this? Going abroad and going into debt to cover the expenses? If yes, then charge interest only at the rate of eight percent on the debt incurred. Savings to run the house here from interest income alone and do small jobs over time. If the parent takes a loan on the house or land and sends the child, the debt must be paid by the parent? Have you got information about the possibility of saving in addition to the daily wage in the country you are going to? Or do you want to go because other friends have gone? Have you talked openly with your friends or relatives, what is the situation there? Away or not away? Would you like to live without social cohesion and our culture? We Gujaratis are very social. We Gujaratis need relatives or friends every day who organize small events and go to them. While abroad no one has time for such matters. You and your work. It is not in our nature to do everything on time. A motto to remember for relatives or friends abroad is that the more years you stay there, the more people you can call your own. Even after ten years, there will not be more than ten individuals. Gujaratis performing in social or religious festivals have to put all these aside and give importance to work abroad, which can you give? Why did you choose the country you are going to? You are wrong to go there because friends are there and it is easy to go to that country. Course and country should be selected keeping in mind your preference, strength, qualification, aptitude etc. Which have you done? Relying on false documents to get going is not suitable for future whole life. One who chooses to take the shortest route will never find happiness there. Therefore, one should choose a country where there will be peace for the whole life. But it is difficult to go to such a country, to what extent is it appropriate to go anywhere by air? Embarrassed to do any small task? Thus, no task is small. However, cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and clothes or other work have to be done by yourself. There is more money to work in the job. Also, the prices of the goods to be bought there are also high. There is not as much freedom in social or employment. There are many issues like above. Like, language, culture, food, medical, local laws, work with job etc. Finally, if one hundred percent feels that going abroad will lead to development, then go. Ashoka: What is not ashamed to do abroad, why is it shameful to do here? A person earning thirty thousand a month here should go abroad in appearance?
