I understand but I do not see that happening easily, my parents are very keen that I get a college degree.

When you put it like that it sounds very easy to travel but I really know that my parents would be very opposed to that and that I'm not even sure that I'm capable just going in another country trying to get a job without knowing anyone and going alone.

But it is hard for me to make that decision and just travel there alone, I'm very attached in the place I'm currently living, I just do not have balls to do that. Maybe I should find them beacuse it isn't too late but...

I am going to be harsh to be kind.

You're soft and weak. You're dependent on the blessing of your parents like a child, not a man. You're attached to comfort like a baby with its blanket, not like a man of ambition striding out into the world.

I exhort you, for your own good, to take an independent action of some sort. You are the ultimate decider of what is in your interests, not your relatives. You have come here because you know this.

The suggestions in this thread are already all over the place and many of them contradict so I won't add my own list. But I will make one suggestion.

You should take one trip, alone, to a country of your choice, which has a foreign culture. Doesn't have to be long, could be a week or two. But you must do this for your development as an independent man. Do not ask anyone for 'permission' or advice on this. Just buy the ticket, and go. I suspect you may learn where the true interests of your relatives lie when you recieve their reaction.
