Since my income is not enough to cover all my expenses, I'm opting to go to another country perhaps in the Middle east, US, UK, Australia or Canada this year. For those who have experience, what is your advice for me on this decision? If you're not in line with me to giving me an advice as to leaving the country, how would I deal my situation and just stay with country with my loved ones?
Appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

And the more important thing: do you have any plan about what to do at overseas? @varier (5685)

And do you already know what kind of employment/work that you'll do there? And are you sure that the agencies are the legitimate company?
Well, at first, I have to say, based on true story in my country, some agencies that promise people for working at overseas are just swindler and illegitimate companies who ignore all the responsibilities..
Better be careful..

That's true pal! But gone are those days that there were lots of agencies that are doing that. These agencies I'm referring to have license to operate and they are accredited also. With regards to the job, my line of education does not go out of fashion as well.

Moving abroad could end up costing you considerably more in living expenses. I don't know where you are now, but the cost of living in places like the US, the UK, and Australia can be very high. The number of jobs available in the United States especially is not good, and getting a job will be even harder for someone who isn't a citizen. Plus, if you can't pay living expenses now, how would you pay for a passport, a plane ticket, visas, etc?
If you can find a way to stay where you are, do it. Cut back on your expenses, perhaps move back in with a family member if you're currently living by yourself, and try to find more ways to earn extra money.

Dear Friend, it doesn't mean that if you are not earning much you would go to foreign country to earn good. Its all depend upon your talent. I have done job in many countries and came to know just one thing that earning more and more is not the overall solution for all problems only satisfaction is necessary. here in your country you can apply in different companies for better salary package and all other thing depends on your overall performances in interviews. Best of Luck for your next step.
