Should i go or should i stay

I finished this summer my apprenticeship so i had to decide what i will do after. Should i write applications to other companies? Should i ask in my old company if i can stay there and they give me an employment contract? Should i go aboard? There were so much questions i had to answer.
After a while i started to send my applications to companies at the same time i went to my boss to ask him about, if its possible to stay in this company. He told me, he needs time to decide. One month later he gave me a positive answer. I can stay but first i have three month unpaid holidays. Next decision: what should i do in this three month? It was the best decision i've ever done. I booked my trip to vancouver.
