if hindi concern ang pera, mas okay ba na mag aral na sa AU after graduating from HS?
or mag-aral muna sa Pinas ng Bachelors/diploma tapos saka na lang mag-aral ng continuing course/graduate school na lang sa AU?
kahit anung course.. ang main objective is maka hanap ng work sa AU and then PR of course..

Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.
