Should I pursue nursing or electrical engineering ?

[freedom900]

Hey y'all !
A bit of information first.
I'm 18m and live in Pakistan. I applied to a few finnish bachelor courses a while ago and got two offers now.

1)bachelor's in science of nursing.
2)bachelor's in electrical engineering and automation.

Id like to ask, which one should I take ? The tuition fee and stuff are exactly the same.

Here's what I've gathered: nursing is a decent profession with high job security. The pay does not scale with time unless I do a masters. I'll be making on average 2.5-4k euros per month in Finland if I work there as a nurse.

I actually received the electrical engineering offer this morning and havent looked into much. I know that the pay is good and the pay scales with time but not a lot of job security or Guarantee of getting a job.

I plan on working there until I can get citizenship or at least a PR because most people are desperate to leave Pakistan. I'll focus on fastlane after.

In terms of fastlane potential I think that electrical engineering has more potential than nursing.

I can use nursing and engineering to get into countries like the US or Australia. I can use engineering to build a startup or join one But the job security in nursing gives me around 1-2k of guaranteed disposable income to invest.

Which one would you pick, and why ?

If you study in Finland, and they need the workforce in that sector you have a high chance of staying.

But don't assume you can get elsewhere easily.

I have a cousin who studied C.S. in the U.S. doing AI hardware in One of the Big Tech. He told me the projected path to PR is 5-8 years. He disliked Singapore culture where everything is reduced to $ which is another story.

The best time to secure a deal is when they need you badly.

Both offers seem equally good.

Nursing work is more hellish for sure, I would pick Engineering,
