I can sacrifice everything for the sake of my family. This year I'm planning to go abroad in order to have a greener pasture and to improve the status of living. It might be difficult for all of us especially in my part. Actually I decided to stop my masters degree this semester because I want to go soon.How about you?what are the good things in life that you've sacrifice for your love one's?

I hope that your going abroad accomplishes what you would like it to. So many families have to make this decision to try and better provide for their family. I only presently work part time and that means less income for our family. However I'm able to stay at home more and try and balance all of my responsibilities better.

Glad to hear that you have made the decision to go home if it doesn't work. So many families do end up falling apart, drifting apart when they have decided to go abroad. Glad that you and your family have really thought about this and have a plan for if it doesn't work out.

I salute those who are going to abroad to earn more money. I haven't yet done sacrificing like going to abroad and leave my family. I work hard here in my own country for them. I want to personally guide my children in molding their characteristics. I am not disagree to those going abroad. It just that i love them so much and i can't live without them. We have our own decision. If you think that it is right then go on. You can pursue your masters degree when you came back or you can continue it in the country where you are going to. Education is continuous, no age limit as long as you want to learn and as long as you can.

For the sake of our family and loved ones we can always do the impossible.
My daughter is planning the same thing, but she's still young.
On her tender age - she's 18 and a regular employee already, she told me one day that she want to work abroad since most of her colleagues already applied to work abroad (same job description)
I feel happy but sad at the same time.
She's still very young and I told her, not now- maybe someday.
I wish you all the luck and take care.

In my case my parents are very supportive with every decisions in my life. In fact they encourage me to pursue my dream of working abroad now that i'm still single and no commitments at all because it will be very difficult if I will going to do that if I will already have a family. In contrast, my grandparents strongly opposed that decision of mind. Currently they never had any idea of my plan and I don't have any plans of informing them too.

For me, I left my family in the province to take up an MS degree in the Capital city. It was a great sacrifice for my wife because our son was only 8 years old. I finished my MS in one year so we were together again.

I know that feeling Daisy, it's so sad to leave your own family. My mom also told me what you just told to us. Its breaking her heart but if it's for the family, to improve the status of living. It would be better if you finish your master's degree before going abroad cause it may help you earn more.
I'm a mom too and I understand how hard it is for you. Leaving your children and living abroad all by yourself. But cheer up, it's for your family.

Forgive me, but going abroad or working abroad does not always guarantee greener Pasteur. It is not always for everyone, whatever success one has had overseas may not be the same thing I can ever achieve if i inttend to work abroad. This is what i always advise my friends who wants to try their luck - just always try to know everything, be sure where you are going, make research, know the place where you will go, it is always advisable that you already know someone in there who can be your support group too. Always want and target your safety because if something happens, instead of you helping your family, you end up only adding more problems to the family.

I do understand that you would like to try and find a new home in a new country for you and your family. I believe though that having your Masters Degree may accomplish even more for you and family. Is it possible to still be able to finish your Masters before you move, if not, after you have settled? I do hope you will be able to. That in itself is a great accomplishment that will help you and family in what kind of income you may be able to gain in employment in the future.
I hope it all works out for you and your family. Sacrifice is a daily thing in life for anyone that has love in their hearts for others. Some more than others. I know I have given up most of what I own for family. hugss n smiles as you travel this journey.

I can't really give an answer to your questions since even me just only depend on the circumstances of time. If there will be a chance for me to continue studying while waiting my papers to be fixed then I will grab that opportunity but if not then will just let it be.Everything is uncertain but I hope thy will be done according to God's plan for me.

hi sacrificing for the family is good one but , leaving masters in between may not be a good idea,, are your family members happy about this decision? if only one semester is left then you can even go after completing that.

Hi Daisy!
I want to give only the best for my family, so I can say that I would do everything that I could in order to realize this dream. I also worked abroad before and I know how hard it is. The days seems endless and I spent a lot of time crying. But if it the only way that could help us alleviate our standard of living, I wish you success in your endeavor. Take care!

I am also willing to do a lot of sacrifices when it comes to my family. I am also thinking of going abroad to find a better paid job to help my family and myself. Yes it is quite a challenge to just like everyone and get used to a new environment. But my advice to you, is that you should finish your Masters Degree and then go abroad to work as it will help you in acquiring a well paid job.

I've been fortunate in that I live in an area where I can get work fairly easily. I would move if I had to though. It will be a hard thing for you to do, but it will hopefully also be fun.

Good luck my friend. Indeed it will be a sacrifice, because you won't see how your children will grow without a mother by their side.
However , if you have a husband who can really be trusted you can be assured that they will be well taken cared of while you are gone.
I hope this will really be the answer to your dreams.

Everthing, I can sacrifice everything I have. For my family I can do or sacrifice for them. Like my mom she sacrifice her half of her life. Work abroed for her family and now working for her own family. It's a power of love for our family.
