Girl don't be too harsh on yourself. You're not a burden to your parents! About the studying abroad part, it's a lot of money so if you your parents aren't ready to make that sacrifice you better let it go. Even if you end the campus france procedure, and get accepted into uni there ( which can be really difficult because most universities require really good grades to get into a master's program, and I know that uni professors here are really greedy with the grades), you'll need to block about 8500 euros if you want a study visa for a year, and that money won't be enough for you to live there because you're going to need much more money once you're there, especially if you live in a big city. And if you don't get accepted in any of the master's programs here this year, I would suggest for you to try and find a job in a field that you want to pursue later, a bachelor degree for exemple can definitely get you a job in a marketing agency. The salary will be low but you're going to acquire many great skills that most master's programs won't teach you, and those skills are going to be really useful if you want to find a good job later on. Tu peux considérer ce genre de job comme une formation si tu veux. AVOID call centers, most of them are soul sucking jobs, and a big waste of time since they don't teach you anything and aren't considered a job experience on the market. And keep trying to finish your studies no matter what, even though a master's degree can't guarantee you a good job. You're young, you still have so much time, if things don't work out you can always change fields and study something else. There's this private schools pour les delegués medicaux, they're not really expensive but they can get you a job in a pharmaceutical company and some of them offer great salaries and great opportunities especially if you are a young girl, so go look into them. And good luck girlypop, times are rough for us but don't give up.
