Let's take the time machine to travel back to one year ago...
Miao was thinking about her path after getting the Diploma.
As much as Miao wants to further her education,
the tuition fees was a very important factor to consider.
Given Miao's grade,
it's impossible to get any kind of scholarship or sponsorship.
And due to complicated reasons,
Miao will not be able to receive any kind of financial assistance either.
Of course,
there's the main stream way of getting a study loan to finance the education,
but Miao is pretty against the idea of incurring debt even before getting a stable job.
In addition,
Miao is turning 23 years old soon.
Most of the courses in local university takes 3 to 4 years to complete.
That means that Miao will be 27 years old when graduating with the degree...
