Topic: Working Abroad is a lot of sacrifice. - page 29. (Read 4326 times)
It is hard for people with family, and yes, It takes a lot of sacrifices if you go there alone in a land you don't know anyone. The worst thing of all is that you cant see your family all of the time and you know that. God bless the modern internet that can provide you hearing with your family online but that is not the same thing. If you have no other choice or you have the better job offered abroad, take the opportunity cause sacrifice can pay up to you and one day your family can come live with you if you want to stay in another country.
Yes indeed, a huge great sacrifice to both parties as i see it. To the one who will work abroad and to the family who will be left behind.
The worker will be on his own. No family member to rely on. That is his/her sacrifice. Leaving the family for them to have a better comfortable life ahead.
The family on the other hand is left without the head or the matriarch to depend on in times of need. Solving matters on their own, not even confiding/involving the worker for him/her, not to worry.
You have given great tips. But 1 thing i should add is, the worker should know the location of his/her own embassy in that country just in case something bad went wrong. You'll never know.
If i may add, with today's technology, with the help of skype, messenger, facebook, viber, etc.; all those social media applications, working abroad is not that complicated anymore. You get to talk and see your loved ones that instant as if they are just in the other room.

Leaving your country and going to abroad for work really is a lot of sacrifice. You have to adjust in a new place and new environment.You have to adjust with the working place and people and have to make many new habits.So its a lot of sacrifice to make in the abroad.
Plus the risk of having an employer who have no conscience just like what we always saw in the news. Those who were treated their employees as animals. In our country, we call those who work overseas as modern day heroes because of the sacrifices they make for their families and for the country.

I agree, You will also feel the importance of your family's presence when you are alone in other country working. The sacrifice of being away from them just to give them a better life is one of the way to show them how much we love them. Sadly, there are family members who also take advantage of the person who is working abroad. My prayer is that all of the people can stay in their own country with better opportunities so that they don't have to leave their families. Its not always about the money we can give but also our presence and time to bond with them.
There are a lot of things to consider if you are planning to work abroad. Also, it entails a lot of sacrifice for the part of the family. Life is too short to spend time apart just to earn much money. What is more slapstick reality is that at the end of the day you cannot really turn back time if something happens to any member of the family.
totally agree. it s huge sacrifice. without having good food , good sleep , good community etc.
yes definitely its a huge sacrifice - you leaving your family / friends / neobours and your country
Working abroad does not always give full beneficial returns for each of the Overseas Filipino Workers. Some may be very lucky to have a very kind employer but some may not. Some can get the perfect job that they really wanted, others cannot. Some gets high paying jobs, some do not. Some Overseas Filipino Workers have the opportunity tobring their families with them but some do not.
I don't agree. I used to wark abroad for a long time. And it's cool.
Ofc it depends on perdonality. But for me it always was fantastic: good job, nice people no sacrifice at all.

Working abroad always respect the country you are in and never break its rules, then everything will be OK.
My father is been working abroad for 15 years until now. It is truly indeed a lot of sacrifices not just on the part of my father but for us also. Growing up not having your father besides you is really hard cause there were really thoughts that only your father can give. Of course your mothers love is really a big help in growing up but without the pressence of your father everyday can really makes you weaker.

I must be a very rare individual, I think of the world as my home. But then again I don't work for anyone; I work from a laptop and have visited and worked on my own time in many countries.
Indeed working abroad requires a lot of sacrifices especially with our emotions. if we are not ready with this condition we will surely go home before the time. but by working abroad we will also gain experience and knowledge, and can learn the characteristics of culture from where we work.
I don't have a partner, if I had one, that would be a thing to do together however. I don't believe in long distance relationships at all.
Long distance relationships never work, no matter how hard you try. Humans have physical, emotional, and biological requirements, which can never be fulfilled if you are staying thousands of kilometers away from your spouse. I have seen a few such cases where I am living, and that is how I am saying this with such confidence.

Working abroad is a big sacrifies, you will be apart with your love ones. You will be alone working there. But yoi must take all the risk just to earn money for your family for them to have food everyday for them to buy all they want to buy and be able to spend money whenever needed. It is a big sacrifies for you and for your family
That's great tips,
And i just wanna add one more tip.
You need to make a good relationship beetween your working patner and your neighbor as well.
Because you know that living in other country is not easy when you guys din't have friends.
That's very useful when you want to ask something or when you getting sick, at leats somone take care kf you and help you kn bad condition.
Leaving family in your country is your choice,
If me myself, if there are still many jobs in my own country, i will not go aboard, i will stay in my home.
Because i can't live faraway from my family,
Even there will be a chance to bring them all to aboard,
I will never stay there forever, i will be back to my country.
Because I LOVE IT so much.

I've only worked abroad a week here and there, but if my (extremely large) company would offer me an expat job, I would probably take it. I would get better pay, and with that I would visit my family at least two times a year, and keep in touch with Skype once a week or something like that. Some of my family members, I don't see them more than that, some even less, who are already living in other countries.
I don't have a partner, if I had one, that would be a thing to do together however. I don't believe in long distance relationships at all.

Yes, it's really a sacrifice. My brother is a seaman and he didn't want to have a communication online like chat or Skype. Only texting is our communication because when we have a communication online, he felt homesick cause he feels he is alone.
And I believe that people who work abroad is one of the strongest people in the world because they can control their emotion just to give a successful life for their family.

This is a nice thread to read. It supports and at the same time encourages people working outside their country. Working abroad is awesome. But it has it's downsides. Best thing is this. If you're single; you have to ask yourself, can i live on my own for x amount of time? Can the work im getting into sustain me? Can i relate to the country om going to? Can they understand what I'm saying? Or do they understand English? Now if you're married (with or without kids) ask yourself the question if a single person plus, can i live for x amount of time with myself knowing I'm not part with my spouse's and or childrens life.
