Working Abroad?

i've never worked abroad.. but i'm from the uk. northern ireland to be exact. it's the northern part of ireland, but it is under british rule, so even though we are not attached to mainland england, scotland and wales, we are still northern ireland. however.. unless you are willing to work really really long hours, or night shifts, making good money here is hard.. i've often even dreamed of just travelling over to england to try and get a job, so i know exactly what you mean! .. i say if you want to do it, do it! you only pass this way once!

Well, same here. Compensation here in the Philippines is seriously low compared to other countries. Also even if you are a professional, the salaries don't seem to match. Well, that's the reality when you are in a third world country like ours. Maybe you can try working abroad and then save up and invest for your future back here in the Philippines. Being a budding professional in your field, you still have a high risk tolerance and is still able to compete on the fierce employment battle outside the country. That is if you are really willing to take that challenge. Living outside your homeland is hard. But really, if you want to earn more go overboard. Just be sure to know where and what you are going into. I suggest go to Singapore or Australia. Those are the most common places for professionals here in the Philippines going abroad.

hahaa working abroad is an escape from poverty when our country cant offer us decent jobs with adequate salary to support a decent living. cuz nowadays unemployment is rampant which could also be blamed to overpopulation that the government is struggling to support even with the basic needs. me myself is planning to work in canada and would like obtain permanent residency.

Working abroad is a good thing because it widens our perspective of life and experience. Furthermore we gain more exposure to stuffs, learning more in the process. I would love to work abroad, but only if i'm single. I don't want commitment to relationships when i'm working there, because it's more like a form of distraction to me.

Well, you are still young and don't have a family of your own yet. Go for that dream and seek for greener pasture. Just be sure that they are not in those places where there is racial discrimination. And be sure to be armed with knowledge and a lot of prayer.

Working abroad is not easy, but sadly, working in the Philippines does not give that much compared to working abroad. Most of my batch mates are also working in different part of the world. It is not easy, but they earn fast and they are able to save at the same time. They are able to help their families and they are able to prepare for their future as well. Singapore is a good city, Some of them are in the UK... it depends on your field of study. I also think that working abroad is a good idea. I love traveling and living in a different country gave me a chance to see new places. It is not easy being far from our families, but you work for them, and you work for yourself to be successful.

One of the thngs that you sshould do is read the countries culture, people and it's facts about the government and it's laws. then check for man power agencies that are rgistered by COA or POEA that are hiring to that countries. then, check your capabilities if it matches the skills, or you can go for a training first before you can get to the interview so that the chances of being approved will increase. lastly, pray that you will become successful there. have a nice day

hi, working abroad really so fast to earn,3 years ago i planned to go abroad to work at Italy and to earn and save money so fast but now i would rather choose to work here because one of weaknesses is my family.so i decided not to go abroad even though money is really different from my country to other country.

I think if you have money and enough time then you can go anywhere in the world because there are plane facilities these days and in no time one can fly from the one country to the other. It all depends on you pocket. I would travel different places if I had enough of the time and the money.

Going abroad to work is running in my mind for years but I still have no guts to do it. There are pros and cons of any decision, for a bigger amount of earning which is a month earning abroad vis-a-vis a year earning here in the Philippines, you may losing the precious time with your family. For a mother like me, it will be a big decision to make. For your questions, I don't think that working abroad is the only answer to financial problem. I am thinking of alternative works to supplement my income from work. Today that there are news that one popular college will transfer near my place, I am thinking of having a boarding house for rent to students and other opportunities from it. Maybe, just look around for other opportunities like tutorial or small business. If you still want to go abroad, choose a country where you have friends or relatives that already established their career in that country. It would be better if there is someone who could help you in starting your life in a foreign country. Maybe, if I have the opportunity, I will choose Canada because it offers a family status in the future.
