Work opportunities often vary from place to place. Places such as the city or developed countries offer higher salaries and better benefits. I believe that seeking greener pastures often entails the sacrifice of moving away from the life you have known.
In third-world countries, such as the Philippines, working abroad is often the reality most people have to have a good job that can sustain a proper life. Jobs that offer better pay, pension or health insurance are mostly found in big cities or in other countries like New Zealand. That is why most Filipinos opt to leave their family and friends to be able to give their family and themselves a better life.
However, moving away is not necessarily an easy option. Choosing this means that you are leaving the comfort of everything that you have ever known. That you are going to a place where no one can support you or comfort you in times of need. This option means you are choosing a life of independence which is often a lonely one. Furthermore, going to a new place means new challenges such as adjusting to the culture, the language, the transportation, and many more. Despite these challenges, Filipinos still choose to leave the country because the jobs offered in the Philippines are not enough to live a sustainable life.
In conclusion, I think that the advantages of going to another place for work outweigh the disadvantages. Although the journey will be hard, the possibility of giving yourself and your family a better life by having a good job in another place will make all the hardships worth it.
