You should consider joining #1 and #2 (#1 and #3).

Take the Self Defense job and help your family. Work really hard after 17:00 everyday and become a great coder. Set a goal like two years to have saved a little money and taught yourself a good programming language.

The Valley will not value the Master or Phd, but if you need it for a work permit that would make sense.

Thanks for the comment. Actually I think this is the most logical thing to do.
