Why do people want to work abroad?

because even if there are available jobs in our country the salary still not enough... not like if you work abroad... the salary you get for an hour is big... plus the currency exchange on your country...

Maybe working abroad get more money then working in their hometown. And maybe, they want get some experience working outsite their own country. There are a lot maybe if i can could write but i think for now only that resent why people want to work abroad :) regards, July http://www.picable.com/photographers/Juliana%20RW.13828

what hometown are you referring to? well, for some people that would be an easy question. tere are lots of opportunities abroad with big pay. that's a reality. in my country, many people dream of going abroad whether they're too old to work in there.

Well Hannahlotski, there could be different reasons for it. Maybe abroad the same job could earn more money. Or the person like to travel and can mix work with travelling, or they hate boring life, which is happening when living and working in the same place for a long time. TheFortunes

For many people, it is a number of things: They want/need more money. They desire to travel. They could be bored with their current surrounddings.

Well I once also want to work abroad, just wanna have some new experience in different places. I'm curious enough and I always wanna try new stuff. When work abroad, you can travel during your leisure time to some places that are quite different from your hometown, that's funny. Also to be realistic, overseas vork expereice is also somewhat a plus for your future career development especailly if you are after a position in a multi-national company.
