Opportunities

There are many job opportunities in the Philippines.

Sadly, some people think the salary is not cut out for them. In most cases, workers have families to feed and provide necessities for, and sometimes they have a hard time fulfilling their responsibilities.

So they try to apply for jobs in other countries. In the US, Europe, or other Asian countries.

That's fine, really. After all, they're just doing their duties to their families. With the higher wages that other countries have to offer, people can send money to their families with change to spare. Though they are not close to their families and they do not know what challenges they'll face, they plunge head-on. They endure. That has to be one of the hardest things to experience. Still, the OFW's have no qualms about what they are doing.

In the Philippines, there are less job opportunities (not that I am belittling our country, but that is the truth). On occasion, the workers work overtime for the sake of having extra money. I guess that says a lot about the state of our country.

Here, to have a high salary, you need to be a college graduate with a degree. And unfortunately, some people can't afford that. As a result, they end up as blue-collar workers.

I think if you are looking for something more, trying to attain something that cannot be reached here, it is fine to go abroad. It is your life, after all.

Just don't forget where you came from.
