Leaving a High Income Post or Pursuing Education?

Daily writing prompt
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

I once quit a post that provided me with a comfortable facility and a higher income. I decided to leave with two considerations; the work atmosphere did not inconvenience me, and I wanted to pursue a doctorate education.

If I quit the post, I would have to move into another government office without a position. Yet, I would have more time to apply for a scholarship.

My father disagreed. “Why do you leave a job that many dream to have?”

Fortunately, my husband supported me. He was aware of the pressure I faced in my office. He promised to fund my study if I failed to get a scholarship.

Years passed, and now I am grateful for making that decision. Pursuing education benefits me including enhancing my way of thinking, knowledge level, and career. That is one of the best decisions ever.
