In many countries today, if people want to find work, they have to move away from their friends and their families. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

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.
