Is it worth working abroad?

Why is it worth working abroad:

• Big salary. Abroad, people really get more. For example, the minimum wage in Germany is 400 euros. People can afford to eat well, pay utility bills, travel, buy a car, save some money.
• Successful career, new acquaintances.
• Language learning. Every day, talking to native speakers, you will learn a foreign language much faster than studying from textbooks or courses.
• The opportunity to get to know a different culture. You will be able to get to know other cultures, traditions and customs better. They may seem unusual, strange, but they must be respected.
• Travels. Working abroad, you can travel, see the world, see other cities and countries.

Why it is not:

• Work difficulties and psychological barriers. Another country – different orders. Requirements at work may be more stringent than at home.
• Nostalgia. People living abroad miss their relatives, friends, hometown very much.
• Unskilled work. Don’t think that you will be offered a good position right away. Our compatriots work as nannies, governesses, harvesting.
• Dear life. The cost of food and living abroad is several times higher. And abroad there are very expensive medical services.
• Another climate (sometimes).

Having read these tips, you should try to decide are you ready to find a foreign job, or you need a little more time to think. Remember that no one is chasing you, approach this more calmly and prudently.
