Do you prefer to work abroad or on your own country?

I would prefer to work in my own country as my family and friends are there. However, I am now seeking for out of country opportunities as I would like to open up my learning and to gain more and different experiences. I could afford to do this because I am still single but if I am married with family I would think twice.

I prefer to work in my own country because my family is here. I was born here and pretty much knows the system and the ways of people here. I think basically all employees would like that but situations really push them to go somewhere far where there are more opportunities. Sometimes even if it is risky or will mean leaving your loved ones, a person will still choose to go abroad and work there for financial reasons. That is why the government has really a lot to do about this.

Since I have children, I would not consider working abroad at the moment. I would stay here. If I were on my own, depending on which country it was and the job, I absolutely would consider it. But I love to travel.

I would say work abroad but reality-wise, I have no choice at the moment. Money talks and I don't have money to spare for traveling right now.

I do not worry about my job but I prefer working abroad. I think you could make a choice to work abroad if you are well educated and get some other conditions that required for work abroad.

i would prefer to work abroad as i feel i would be more motivated to do well as i am in a foreign country. if i am in my own country, i always have the tendency to job hog and less incentive to give my all for the company as i always feel i have other options. working abroad is different as you are alone and start from scratch. i cannot afford to fail as failure would be costly compared to at home. having less personal distraction would mean that i am able to spend more time at work and motivation to focus on my work. this would likely mean i am able to excel or do better than at home.

Hi ralph, if I’m still single I prefer to work abroad. Many of my friends are working abroad and they get much better pay than that in the present system here in my country. Besides we have the opportunity to sight and to learn the language, customs, culture and lifestyle of people living abroad. During off days I could spend my leisure visiting countries or places around. Both my nephew and niece are working at different foreign countries and they are quite content with their respective job and living there. Anyway I’m now a married woman. I prefer to work in my hometown, so I could always stay together with my loved ones and take good care of them. posting and have a nice day.

I'd prefer to work abroad solely just because then I'd get to experience another country, maybe another culture.

I am a little patriotic and I wanted to stay here to work but since life has not been good here in the Philippines I thought of working abroad just for a few years to save money and then come back here to settle. Eversince I was young I told myself that I would never leave my home land but due to the economic crisis it's really a major decision for me to work outside of my country. I have not much choice.

me i would rather to work abroad bcoz they pay us more.Its hard beng away from home but its better than you die with a hungry stomach.

i still prefer working in my own country.. where you are close to family and friends...

[i]I work in a call center and I earn well just fine...probably because I pay my rent and some other bills.But I have plans of working abroad but probably in a callcenter abroad bec. the rating is different compared to the ratings here in our country. I have friends already who are abroad and doing really great..I envy them so much..But I can't leave some people here in our country.[/i]

If i can look for a job in my own country with an income that will suffice the needs of my family then i will choose working in my own country.But if i cant anymore feed my family because there are no avalaible job then i will have to work abroad. Nobody wants to be away from their family or wanted to served other country instead of helping there own nation if they only have a choice. But sometimes in life you have to be practical. A lot of people who have the talent and the ability to help the country improve its economic situation wanted to share there knowledge but they dont have a choice. They also need to survived and feed there families. That is the reason why a lot of talented people work abroad to look for a greener pasture.

i prefer to work abroad..bcos...in abroad they pay me more moeny when compared to my country.....i want to take my country name to the world...i work for any other abroad company.....and i willl earn more money and i willl come back to my own country and dstribute the money i have earned.....it makes me feel proud....thanq...happpy mylotting...

It depends on the circumstances. If it supports my family and secures my future...I really can't argue. But then it depends on what the job is. If it's very unsavory or bad for my health, then I'll probably hesitate. Right now, the circumstances are better for me to just create my own job growing food to sell and making things with my hands to sell.

Hi there ralphcharleston! If only the best opportunities are available locally then I would prefer to work in my own country. However, there are a lot of things that we need to consider. It's not just the availability of jobs but also at this time, it is important for us to look for a job that is good paying. This is not only for us but also for our family. Should you be given an opportunity, go ahead and grab it! Good luck!

Out of practicality, I would rather work abroad than working in my homeland. I may be separate with my family but looking in a positive way it will be a big help to me and to them. You get paid very well, per hour and not per day. The money that I earn for a month in my country, I can earn that in abroad just for how many hours or for a day. And that is a huge different

If given a chance to work abroad and to earn good,i go for it,but if i have my stable job here in my country and earning so much i'd rather stay here with my family.I know that working abroad is too hard for we will be leaving our family.There is no place like home.

I prefer to work abroad,because of better work conditions and opportunities.The country in which I live in ,India is improving in all its sectors but still had to go a long way to match the work condition provided in the foriegn countries.Also the chances of growth are much more,facilities are better.But its still quite sometime till I get my first job.Lets see what the conditions are till then.

If u choose working abroad is good but if we get paid equal as abroad then why to go abroad. But many thinks that they will get wat they want to do abroad and so they choose to go.Because in their home country they are nor free to do whatever they wanted..Many people go abroad b'coz they thiks that they will earn more .. But if we get as much as abroad then why to go .......
