I used to think a lot of time in going abroad this year. I find it hard to get a job here and earn much to sustain the needs of my family. I think that going abroad will be the greatest option. I know that it is not that easy specially when you leave your family behind. But what my conscience is telling me that waiting for an opportunity here in my country is useless the mere fact that there has a lot of jobless people in our country.And even if I get a job from a prestigious company, salary is still not enough. With all the pressures around you and not enough rest, it is still not compensating specially when you belong to a lower rank file. Can I ask an advise from you, mylotters? Thanks.

well,going abroad is a big chanllege,you may have many difficulties abroad,you have to prepare a lot before make your decision,it's not easy to find a good job in either of the countries nowdays,more and more people become jobless,the salary is not good and etc.I also think going abroad will be a good choice but you have to think a lot about this

In my opinion is much better to find a good job home, in my country..a lot of peoples from my country work abroad too, but i am not one from they. Maybe for a short time is ok, but in this time you can make a good carrier in your country. well...maybe there is hard to find a good job, and everybody are free to choice, but i am one who like work here, even sometimes i earn not so much money as i can earn going work abroad

Hi Jabelle, I don't know where are you from and where are you plan to go to.We all aware that nowadays, the economic all over the world is tough. If you want to go abroad, think before you leap. Few things you need to think about: 1.Are you confident that you will get a job in the country that you are going to? How much salary do you think you can get? Is it good enough to support all you spend there? 2. Is it worth to earn that much money than stay with your family and earn a little less money? 3. Do your family have a back up if anything bad happen to you in a new country? 4. Can you surfer in a new place without knowing anyone and friends? If all the answer for above question are positive, then go ahead with your decision. If you have hesitate, then don't do it, because it will be waste of your time and money and effect.
