We all know that we are suffering from recession and crisis. We have to do something for us to survive. Do you think you have a future in your country? With me, I am from the Philippines, and we all know that this country is a part of one of the poorest country around the world. Many Filipinos are leaving our country because they are not satisfied with the earnings that they are having. Being online is also one of the means of the Filipinos to survive, that is why I am here. I also have plans of moving other countries. I don't see any future here. I want to be successful someday, and I don't think so that the success will came from our country. What about you?Do you have any plans of leaving your country or just stay there for a better future. If ever, where would you like to go and why?With me, I want to be in either United States or United Kingdom. Share your insights and ideas.

It all depends on opportunities. If an opportunity is provided, which would be better than my current one and if it can uplift me from current situation, I would go for that, no matter whether it is out of my country or inside my country...

Hello There! I am thinking of going out of the country but right now, I don’t think that it is a good time to go abroad since most of the big or first world countries are in recession as well. Yeah, we lost lots of jobs here as well but I still think that we can still survive and there are still lots of jobs out there… however, it sometimes requires to be a career shifter so that we will fit the job. Right now, I am in the IT networking world but I am currently taking a short course to further enhance my skills so that I can find another job that will allow me to earn money! I am still hopeful! Thank you for the discussion. Happy Mylotting and have a great day! Cheers!

Well recession is there in our country but not to that extreme extent so there is no reason to leave the country, and apart from that I am in my native country so where one can go except to home.

I am from India…there is of course future for me here in my own country itself. Recession has not hit us so hard that we need to go abroad…and then people everywhere are equally hard hit, so anywhere you go, it will be the local people who should get the first priority, so why not stay in your own country? We are having plenty of opportunities here in India itself so one can always stay back. However, it is undeniable that the overall standard of living and facilities in developed nations are way ahead of those available in my country. So migration can always be an option for many people, recession has nothing to do with it.

For the sake of brighter future, I with no doubt will go abroad. I myself had left once to TAIWAN, so if I have a chance again I will. As for the country US and UK are in trouble now, jobless rate are high, so I think it's not possible to go there.

I live in Ireland and if we keep going the way we are going I'm LEAVING!! The only reason I stayed for college was 'cause it's free (not that eveything else is exactly cheap...) but if they introduce college fees soon I'm leaving...
