It is about priorities and it depends upon what your parents want too. Studies is okay but I don't think doing a job for long can away from family and getting permenantly settled there and not calling your parents there is not at all right.

A career is very important.I have met many people who regret their decision of staying back with their parents instead of going forward to imporve their careers.If the relationship between parents and children is good,it will always be good until you really break their heart.But to go out and improve your chances of a better job is one thing your parents will never oppose.It is not so much a question of fair/unfair as it is of necessity/right decision.Afterall,one always has the option of coming back to one's parents after finishing studies.Many people do come back and settle in their home countries after a stay at another foreign country for their jobs.Once you build up enough work experience,it is easy for you to settle down anywhere you want.My parents have always supported me in my studies even though I did not go to a foreign university to finish my studies.Every parent will want their child to be happy and content.It is no use having a son/daughter blaming the parents all their lives for preventing them from going abroad to pursue further education or to get a job.

Going to a foreign country to get my degree was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life. I got a full scholarship and there was no way we could pay for a school like that in my own country. I was blessed because both of my parents gave me encouragement and supported me. I miss them but I chat with them every time we can work our schedules out and call them as often as I can. If you think about you will have to leave the house once you get married anyways, and is not like you are going to forget about them is just more land between you and them but the heart feels the same way.

In my openion, it is very hard to leave my parents and go to foreign countries. However, going abroad to study is all about shaping up our carrer. By enhancing our knowledge base, we can b the efficient person. And being in abroad, we can be in toush with our parents. Hence, I think it is fair to leave our parents for some years to be able to fulfill their dreams. After all, every parents, dream to make their child efficient and effectine personnel.
