I am a university student starting my fourth year. I plan to graduate next year, but something makes it seems hard to do my final thesis. Fortunately, in my department, the students can choose whether making the thesis or not to graduate. The students who choose not to make the thesis, will get some more courses and trainings. Th problem is, some lecturers suggest me to make the thesis to graduate though it might be hard for me, it'll take more time to graduate, aproximately june 2013, they said the thesis is essensial if I want to continue my study abroad. Yet other lecturers told me to take the non-thesis path, it'll make me graduate in June 2012, they also told me that it won't matter if I decide to continue my study abroad. I want to continue my study abroad, is the thesis essensial to continue my study? Will it matter for my future education if I choose to not making the thesis? Thank you so much for you guys for giving me some clues about this. GBU.
