Actually I'm still a student, and almost 2yrs more to go before graduation. I know some occupation that is suits my profession (in the future) but i was wondering where can i earn more? Here in the philippines or in other country? as far as i know, nurse is in demand in other countries but how about engineers? Any idea/suggestions? ..thanks.:)

It depends. If you think you are earning well here in the country, then why choose to go out? I mean me personally, if I can earn say around 80k a month here, I won't go out of the country anymore even if they match the salary more than 80k. I mean its fun to be home, and its fun to be here.

Hello. Thanks for responding. Me too. If i can earn a salary equivalent to the salary in other country, why leave?.hehe. But i think that has 50-50 probability of getting it? And of course, you really had to work very very very hard to get the high position to be able to reach it, and that would take long time.

Now a days it is hard to find job that it is related to what you have studied. Many Filipinos like to work abroad to earn more and to find opportunities. Here in the Philippines we all know that salary is not that big and not enough if you have a family. Call centers are other options of Filipino to earn big. For me the best option is to put a small business. It is hard now to find employment because of the crisis.

Yup, you're right. Actually, starting a business is a good idea but as a fresh grad, I think I can't provide a capital in an instant, so I still need to work first then save money? Can't also borrow from my parents.
