Should we stay, or should we go out of the country?

Hello n30wing! Based on what is happening to the world now, I would say that I would rather stay here but that is if I am still single. But then because my husband live in America, I have to go with him and joined him there.

It all goes down to personal preference, but nowadays it's hard to get a job anywhere and anywhere you can find a job is good whether it's here or abroad. Professionals who stay are doing the country a favor by serving their Motherland. However, OFW's help too by sending money to the Philippines.

Yes that is true. Losing your job abroad is somewhat hard since you don't have that support like if your in your own country. If you lose your job in here you could easily go to your relatives that could temporarily help you out in times of need. But if you're abroad then you are usually on your own if you happen to have relatives in there they might be able to help but then its still feels very awkward asking them for help. The network of support is much stronger in here especially if you have a large family to ask for help.

i agree with you that it is better to lose job if you are in the philippines rather than lose job while in other countries. For me, its better to stay here in the Philippines nowadays because the world is experiencing downsizing, slowdown and recession. there is no stability anywhere in the world. at least, we have our families here to help us. so long as we would not be choosy in work and we would save, i think we will survive in the philippines.

I can't see anything wrong in staying or going out of the country for a job. With the financial crisis affecting the whole world, I don't think we should be very choosy where to work, be it here or abroad. If there's a job offer abroad that will turn out to be more beneficial than my job here in the country, I will certainly grab the opportunity.

well i guess it really depends on your personal choice. to leave or not to leave would really depend on what is your plan for the future. being away would mean more money but sacricing quality time with the family and just staying here to be with the family even if we dont have much to eat. for me staying here and leaving within our means is my choice. i have nothing agains those who go abroad because its their choice...
