Thousands of professionals leave their country to work abroad. They say they government doesnt give as much employment opportunties and living conditions continuously become so difficult. Medical practioners like nurses and doctors leave their country to work in the hospitals of a foreign country. lawyers, engineers, architects work abroad as caregivers, leaving their country scarce of working professionals. If you're one of them, do you prefer to work abroad to earn dollars or stay at home to serve your fellowmen?

Many professional went abroad to find same work with higher pay. I prefer to stay in my country. Sometimes I envy you are brave to work in other countries. I have many insecurities like racial discrimination. My boss used to be a Taiwanese - I experience culture shock. There are many sufferings and pains in leaving a family to find work abroad. Some came home - crazy.

That's very true ajinomoto23. it's a dangerous world out there. Due to low income, mothers are forced to go abroad to work as domestic helpers. Disrcimination is just one of the issues they are facing. others are being raped by their employers.
