Will you consider working abroad?

I think I would like to work abroad if I get a chance.I can earn money and also know another country at the same time.I like foreign languages so that I can also learn the language that country.Of course it is hard that I am far away from my friends,family and love ones,but I also get the more things that I want.

I did go to work abroad. I travelled to Australia from England for a years work and 26 years later I am still here. Melbourne is now my home and I would not wish to live anywhere else.

Maybe I don't have the courage to work aboard. And acutally even in my own country sometimes i feel lonely and rootless so can't imagine living in a totally alien country how lonely and depressed i will feel. But i would like traveling around the world,go to different places and also curiosity about different cultures and style of life foreigners living with.

i am a filipino and thwere are a lot of filipinos who work abroad and even MORE wants to work somewhere outside of the country...though there is like a working abroad fad here, i still would choose working in the philippines...i love my country and i want to give my services to the country since it is helping me in my studies now( i'm still in highschool and i do not pay my tuition fee in fact the gov't is giving me an allownce every month ---but the allowance is not that big...) i would gladly give my country back what it gave to me....I owe my country a LOT

people's work abroad for making money... but they failded to analyse, most of the nations have differnet kind of sources, works, or oppertunities, once they found such kind of oppertunites they cant move to abroad.

i loved to but i need that working experiecne before i go to australia.. philippines don't have that opportunities for a biology graduate like me...darn so boring......

yeah ofcourse why not cuz this india is a really bad place to live in :(

I really yearn of working abroad. It's one of my goals now. I've been working here in our country for more than five years but until now I wasn't able to save because compensation is not that competitive. There's no growth for me working in our country. Now, I've been trying to look for jobs opportunity abroad and I am very much willing to take the risks and accept whatever is in store for me.

i love to be live and work within my country.suppose lets think if my country fails to give me fair opportunity and i have doors open for a better job in abroad i will definetly go abroad for better job.I consider am important and need personal satisfaction.i will work abroad for some years and get good knowledge and money and would like to return to my country at the end to serve my country people with my expertise

You are abosutely right. I have plans to work abroad, i think that staying in my country will do me no good in matters of compensation. Hesitation boosts however, when i think of my family, friends and social acceptance. I afraid of change, plus the fact that not everyone who works abroad are successful. You need to have a strong will i guess to make it. If i have a better job which gives better compensation, i think i'll stay in my country.

I did go to China for a year and half and then went to work in Malaysia for 7 months but it is really good to be back home and I do not think I would go and work in another country again. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience as others seem to have had:(

If I will be given a chance. I will... but I have to sacrifice everything.

Hello kababayan! Yes, I will. As you know, the situation here in the Philippines, life is difficult when it comes to money but happier because we are with our loved ones and that whatever the situation is, we can still be happy. Maybe, I will just go abroad, save money and go back here, put up my own business and I will settle here. I don't like to be separated with my family for a long time and spend my life abroad.

It is very interesting how, even before I saw the picture you attached, I already knew you are a Filipino. It is sad that a lot of good talented people have to go abroad to make a better living. I am here living in the USA for 15 years now, but my road here was not all smooth...I had to struggle working in Saipan, Micronesia for a US airline as an airport ticketing suprvisor. That opportunity opened a door for me to secure a visa to the US and after a year and a half stint in Saipan, Micronesia I moved to the USA and got me a working visa ater looking carefully for more than 6 months. I was penny-pinching, taking odd jobs, etc until I finally got a break to work for another US carrier here in San Fran. I had a good job in the Philippines working for an Asian carrier before I left. But as one of the family bread winner, I had to make a sacrifice to work abroad. While working as an OFW in Saipan, it was tough for a Pinay like me to live alone in a place I knew nothing about. The culture was different, and there were some discrimination, especially if the locals know you are an OFW. If it were not for the many Filipinos that I met both at work and at church, I would have given up. Being together we found solace and sometimes we cry together when we missed our families...Friday night we walk to the nearest pay phone center (no cells back then) so it was really sad to see a long line of OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) trying to call back home. I fyou have see the movi Milan or Dubai, these back breaking jobs they portrayed are so real. My pay was not too bad, back then 16 or so years ago, I was able to afford to send a couple of hundred dollars every 2 weeks back home to help my family. I wish that the government would do something about the situation back there. It is sad to have to sacrifice and to think the country makes a lot of money from OFW sending money and paying taxes. I have heard somebody mentioned to me years ago, that the Filipino workforce is the biggest and most lucrative exports the country has...it's a pity. But the good news is--- alot of countries like to hire Pinoys because most are college grads, speak fluent English, polite, honest and hardworking! Good luck to you all!

I have already did this. I was in ireland for a year and also in turkey for 6 months. I would do it again if I had the chnase coz you gain so much from the experiance!

I will work abroad, when i get a chance. To say frankly, i myself is looking for jobs abroad because of my family condition. I have to look after all the people in my family. Sometimes, i have to help my relatives. So working in my own country and looking all these matters is very difficult. I know that i have to loose my family, friends and relatives. But, it is not bad to do that for some good use.

There is nothing bad in working abroad. And its just the way a person's thinking. If he / she wants to work in either abroad or its own country, then for sure he / she works there. We can work anywhere but we must respect and remember our own country, our birth place. And even a person is living outside and far away from the family members, they can contribute a larger efforts to there family members. And as soon as they get enough experience from there, they can return back. But if the person wants to stay there, its a bit bad thinking. I don't think so that this is correct. And this is all my thinking. And I hope so that I might be a bit correct. Have a nice day.

Not anymore. Before I was married and while I was much younger working abroad would appeal to me, quite a lot. It would be such an adventure :)And this even if in the position where I was where I had a good job back home. But just the idea of going somewhere to work for some times and coming back it was great. I am talking a limited time. Not forever. But just a contract for one or two years with a job that interested . After getting married the idea is not as attractive anymore. I wouldn't want to leave my family, or even relocate the whole family just because of me. So the answer to your question is yes if I was still single, no after being married.

I also love my country but reality bites,I wouldn't succeed in my profession if I'll just stay here.They offer very low salaries for nurses like us here.It isn't really enough to compensate the workload being given to us.

well if i get a chance i will surely love to work abroad.it would be something like a great oppourtunity for me .
