Of course in the employment world for those that apply for jobs isn't it tough or what? I work part time in a real estate office as an IT Tech to fix any problems that come along the way. But I also do business in computer repair of my own when clients call up for any issues. But I have an edge for a bigger hope and mission to start business in the Philippines. Hopefully I can re-establish a business with an Internet Cafe, then add newer business such as a local pizza stand and a restaurant as well. Then there's the business of making money on the internet - that is always a greater option. How about you? Do you have your own business or plan to open one yourself?

If you ever open your business here in the Philippines you have to know where because for one it is very competitive when it comes to business. Especially here in Manila, a lot of places have gone up due to rental spaces. If you open up your own Internet Cafe here it will be tough so you have to market the best price per hour and there are many many people especially children that use the computers mainly for computer games and online gaming. You will do good if you know how to market the business well here. I know friends of mine here that does their own cell phone repair and has even made more than 10,000 pesos, but believe me it is not easy as you think for what they do because it is not like fixing a computer. Mmmm! And I love pizza if you ever open a business for that I'll definitely be one of your customers hehe!

i have to say you have your mind where you want it to be and that is a great idea. especially here in the philippines it is difficult to work small time jobs because the pay is horrible, but those with their own business especially those with internet cafe, cell phone repair really make good money and even more than employees. think about it because there are people who can make 5,000 to 10,000 pesos a day if their business is doing good especially one that knows how to repair cell phones and fix computers. 10,000 pesos sometimes are those who make that in a month working small time jobs - that is not good. but yes you can do very good in business of your own if you are here.
