Guidance on Pursuing a Master's in Theoretical Particle Physics

I accept the aforementioned and am not contesting it. My primary focus right now is figuring out how to move forward. I haven't yet formed any strong opinions regarding this aspect. The only belief I firmly hold is summarized in the words of Shakespeare: "Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them."

As long as the methods you are contemplating to end them do NOT include the method that Hamlet was contemplating to end them, then OK.

I'm afraid she wasn't so lucky - she died early. And the song's production sure screams 1980's.

At this point, I think there is no point in focusing on graduate education. The OP is not ready. However, the idea of getting someone else to pay for 4 years of Western-level education depends heavily on luck. Lots of luck.

The obvious next step. move to a country with generous education benefits for its citizenry has its own obstacles. If it were easy, everyone would do it. This is compounded by some bad behavior from people in his part of the world which makes immigration policy makers nervous.

In ths US, a year of college costs someone about $50,000. This is supported by some mix of tuition, gifts, indirect charges, endowments, etc. Once someone says "I need a $200,000 education! Who wants to pay for it?" demand seriously outstrips supply.
