Thinking of studying Manadarin Chinese in China after undergrad (Scared of ruining my future career)
So i just finished my first year of my undergrad (1 of 3yrs) in Business administration (Finance) here in Canada. And recently, a passion or a life goal resurfaced, I want to study Mandarin chinese in mainland China right after my degree.

Ive been wanting to study the language for a long time now (I'm 19yrs old, turning 20 in July and will be 21/22yrs old when I finish my undergrad) and I feel like I wont have the opportunity to learn it for the rest of my life if I dont go to china right after my degree (Its easier and faster to learn it there and id love to live in the country for a year). I looked up scholarships that would pay the totality of the tuition.

MY CONCERN is that, upon my Return to Canada (Montréal) I won't be able to find or it wont be as easy to find the job I want (gap year, not a lot of experience, etc) and that it will Ultimately** RUIN my career opportunities**. At the same time i dont think I'll have the time and opportunity (quit my job) to study mandarin in China for the Rest of my Life.
I want to learn the language for fun, personal growth/accomplishment (it's a life goal) and i guess indirect career opportunities.
BUT I'm REALLY scared it will do* FAR MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO MY CAREER*.
