In my opinion, get your degree first. Ofcourse, get a girl, and keep her close to you until you finish your studies and chose a career path. Even if she is an American girl, no one will stop you from getting married to her if you have a good education and a good career. So, if you are patient and hard-working, u can get both, a good western education and the girl you wish to live the rest of your life with. peace. Vincent
