Do you prefer working abroad?

I am one of them who work abroad. In the beginning I don't have any ideas or plan to go abroad because I prefer to work in our locality and do business while working. I happened that there's a changes comes to our whole family when we lost one of our members in the family. We encounter financial crisis and there's no other thing we can do except to try my luck outside the country. My goal for being here is to earn enough money to start again my business. Well, it happened already and I have plan to go back my country end of this year or early next year to focus on our business.

Depends yea , if my chances in my countries are restricted , why not go other countries where by chances of me getting rich is higher so why not go abroad working

i do wanna leave the country to work. well, aside from the bigger compensation that companies in other countries could offer, im looking for jobs that would really fit my interests. unfortunately, the job i really wanted badly is not available in the philippines so i have no choice but to apply overseas

I think the reason for the people to go abroad can be many. to me...I think go abroad cna learn foreign language easier... as well as international trade...

Yes, if given the chance to be able to work abroad I'll definitely grab that opportunity. Right now I'm working as a call center agent here in the Philippines. Way before I landed a call center job I was a proofreader for a local newspaper. People may think both jobs are glamorous and thus command a very nice pay. They aren't glamorous at all. Rather, both require hard work and demands time aside from the skill you owe to possess to be able to do your tasks well.Worst, since Philippines belongs to the so-called third world country, most business establishments/firms here offer very low salary.This primarily is my reason to opt for a job abroad. As for my case I'm a single mama and is also sending 2 younger siblings in college, my salary which is roughly 12T/ month ($240) is really not enough to finance all my expenses. I wouldn't really mind if I wont be able to practice what I've finished in school as long as I get to have a chance to work outside the country and earn better.Imagine, my annual salary would only total to 144,ooo pesos ($2,880). While if I'd be lucky to be hired for a job abroad, let's say a helper's job in Italy I would probably earn 70,000 pesos/ month with my eight hours of work. Hey that would equal to my three months of hard work here in the Philippines.Seventy thousand pesos could more than finace my family's needs in a month . Perhaps, I can set aside a part from it to save for my dream house and planned business whenever my contract would be over.I'm just being practical. Though I know I'll be battling then with "homesick." But as they say "No pain, no gain." Secondly, I believe working abroad would be educational. As travel makes one cultured. I also wanna see for myself how are the other countries out there. Being able to travel makes oneself better. It is often tagged that once a resident leaves his homeland and works abroad shows lack of patriotism. I do dispute that. First, you should know that there are a lot of ways to show love for your country. Second, once an employment contract is over one is supposed to go back home. Thus the dollar remittances. Thus the new expertise acquired from the other country- thus the better the individual will now be in his field. Last of my reasons in opting for a job abroad - well I'm just wondering if the destined someone to be my partner is out there.... Who knows?
