Hi, Just curious,some of us wants to work abroad to earn higher but would you want to work and sacrifice not seeing your family for many years?Few years ago before I got pregnant I really want to work abroad to earn more but when my baby arrived I decided not to continue working abroad because I dont want to be away from my baby and hubby.I want us to be always together and I want my baby to grow with our presence for proper guidance.

When I entered into my college days, I have already considered myself working abroad. Not just because of the fact that it has a higher pay than here in our country, but because I wanted to travel around the world. Fortunately, I am still currently single and no attachments. So I still have the opportunity to apply abroad.

Long before my parents tried to encourage me to work abroad but I was too afraid to risk back then. Now after few years working in the same country, Im thinking if deciding to stay & work here is still a good decision. For now choosing to work abroad is dawning on to me litte by little. I guess I now understand that no matter how hard you work for your family, it wont still be enough. Perhaps being away & work in a different country will alleaviate your financial situation. Yes indeed you will earn good in exchange of the time loss which should have been spent with your loved ones.

I have work abroad before and I found it quite difficult being away from everyone especially my love one. But now, to think about it, my partner is from another country, and yes I will still consider because if not them I won't be able to be with him But lets say if I was not with him then, I may will still consider for maybe a year or something because I love travelling so much and sometimes the only way for us to explore a whole country is by being there for at least a few month.
