Which do you prefer,working for your country or abroad?

This is the same case with people working in India and other asian countries. Many people prefer going to US, work there for a year to two, earn money and come back to homeland. But the bitter truth is that 95% of people going to US never return and once they start earning, they never want that momentum to go out of their hands and I personally have never seen any of my friends or relatives who have been to US for earning returning back to India. So I personally prefer to settle in my homeland immaterial I earn here. Though my earning is not that good or handsome, but it's sufficient enough to take care of myself and my family and that is the one I prefer..

ohh my god, i never knew that nurses could earn 100,000 pesos abroad.. i'm from the Philippines too and I agree with you.. the government officials are full of promises that never happened at all.. sending employees abroad is one of their food since they earn in every remittance that every OFW (overseas filipino worker) do.. honest politician in our country is very rare not even our President.. Even me, I will have my job abroad too.. not to sustain the needs of the government but for the sake of my future and my loved ones as well..

I am from the U.S., and my whole family is here, so I would probably have to take a job here. I don't know if I could take a job anywhere else, and if I did it would have to be a country that is close to my country so Mexico or Canada.

If there's no good opportunity in my country then I pursue to work abroad. In my point of view no matter where I'm going to work the most important is if I'm happy enough with my earning and my environment. But of course its not my plan to stay for good in other country.I will still be going back to my homeland unless the situations don't allow me to do so.. in some case maybe.. Happy mylotting!

I love working for my country. The dollars are tempting but working abroad can have consequences too. And not all who works abroad tend to be successful. Fortunately, we can still hope for the best :)

So far I am still content and happy working here in or country.But we can never tell what future will offer to us.If there is a great opportunity knocks to me,we why not to grab it and take the chance.But one thing is for sure, that I will be back in our country and spend the rest of my life here happy.

I live in the US, and spent a year teaching English in Japan. It was a great experience and my husband and I made some great friends while working there. I did however get very homesick. That would be the hard part.

Ofcourse for your own country. No other country can equal to your motherland. I always prefer to work in my own country. But there may be certain instances where you are forced to work abroad. I hope that day will no come to me.

I feel the same! I would prefer working in my country and live here, but if I had an opportunity to work abroad for a better salary I would definitely go for a few years. The level of experience offered is also higher abroad, because there are bigger projects and you can work on cases that you could never find in my country! But eventually I would like to come back to my favourite home country!

I know that not all people in the Philippines are bad, there are also good people in the Philippines, but to think that all the issues that are being said to this country, it's kind a hard to think that Philippines is a PERFECT place to live in. For me, I would prefer to work on other country and might as well live there. It's just my own perception. I've experienced a hold-up here and I got shot in my left thigh. then when you listen to the news, all you can here is bad things that is happening here in the Philippines. I just wish all of the Filipino could think of a change specially the politicians, because they are supposed to be the leader, and not the stupid money thief people.

Id prefer working online than going abroad coz I just love my country and the people. even though I'm curious to know about other culture and its tradition and be able to see the difference every country and its tourists spots. But i'd chose to be home. If there's no option I'd go another country to find work. But as long there is any job on my country I would stay.

Hello friend, I prefer working for my contry. I love my India very much. Have a nice day.

For me, i will prefer to stay here in my country because I get easily homesick. Yes, your absolutely right about the income you can get here in the Philippines. You can earn less and some other can't even earn because their income is exact on their daily living. So my opinion here is, if i didn't receive any good offer in a foreing country I'll stay here but if an opportunity came I will love to grab it.

All of us have different opinions about this matter. It's a matter of choice whether you prefer working abroad or staying in your country for good and it always depends on you. No matter what it is, if that what makes you happy and would benefit you more then go for it. For me, if given the opportunity to work abroad I would grab it right away. It may seem hard at the beginning because you'll get homesick plus the pressure you'll get from your job because you have to adapt to the environment you'll be working and be familiarize with it but the most important thing to remember is you should know how to adjust with the people around you and be respectful at all times because you're in a foreign land. All those hardships can be overcome just for the sake of having high salary that you can give to your family and loved ones. Even though I want to work abroad, I won't stay there long because I still believe that "there's no place like home" I still would like to settle in my own country with happy and warm people. Having my own business would be a good idea to help my family and help other people who's looking for a job.

I have never really thought about working abroad myself. I think being far away from your family will actually just add up to the stress and it might affect my work results and productivity. I think some people are out of options or it is what they like to do... but its not for me. =)

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, they say. However, I'd rather work in my own country. I'd not feel that secured working abroad.

I must say that I have always been very much attached to my own land but working abroad can be next to imposible and I think it takes a lot of guts to be able to do it. Not only are you away from your family and from your friends, but you are also away from your own culture. I live near my family and friends and that amounts to a lto of money for me.

There is a wiseword in my country, "Even there are gold rain in abroad but still better in our country, even just a stone rain". Its all depend on us, how much we get if we think its enough then it will enough. Why we have to go to abroad in order to chase a dollar or whatever kind of money it is. While we could get it from our own home.

There are rampant Filipinos taking up nursing because they want to work outside the country. The compensation in other 1st world countries is completely good unlike in our country. It's a sad reality that the compensation in our country isn't enough for our basic needs. I'll probably work here temporarily for the mean time but I'll definitely work outside country.

First i prefer to work for my country, Later i prefer to work in abroad if get a chance.
