In many countries, young people move to cities leaving their homes in rural areas for work or study. What do you think are the reasons for it? Do you think advantages for moving to cities outweigh disadvantages?

Young people
move
to the metropolitan cities, leaving their hometown for various purposes,
such
as education, career and business. Here, we can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the people moving to major cities and reveal my own opinion.
First
, students shift to another location, which have universities with excellent track record in their field of interest. It helps them to be graduated in their own interested subject and
further
move
to post graduation. To achieve
this
, they compromise and
move
out of their home town.
Second
,
Initially
they were thought to be outside for a short period, but after the completion of the study, they were forced to stay in the same
city
or
move
to even the big
city
to hunt a
job
.
Finally
, they marry a girl and set up a family life and stayed in the metro
city
, for work and other facilities. My friend, Raj was shifted to another country to complete his post graduation, he was thinking to return back after completion, but he got a
job
and married. The advantage in the metropolitan cities is the facilities available in every field are enormous, when compared to the limited availability in the country side.
On the other hand
, after leaving your
city
, you could almost forget your friends and relatives and you will be like an alien. If a family man shifted to the another
city
for work, but alone, due to his children's education or some other reason, It's a horrible experience.
For Instance
, a colleague of my friend moved to New Delhi from Tamilnadu, where he was working for
last
15 years and he joined
in
Suggestion
with
a half minded due to the instruction from management and
finally
, he left the
job
due to family sick.
This
could be one of the major disadvantages and a few other points
also
need to be considered
such
as family function, local festival, which you could miss for sure.
However
, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in major areas,
such
as
job
, education and better lifestyle. In my personal opinion, I would stand in favour of
city
life for better prospects, that cannot be provided by urban areas.
