Many young people today choose or are forced to go and work abroad. What are the advantages & disadvantages of living and working in a foreign country compared with living and working in your own country? Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It becomes a new trend these days that more and more people decide to go to work abroad, especially getting a job in developed countries. Some think that it is a great chance to develop their skills, while some argue that there are several disadvantages from taking an international job. Both sides will be discussed carefully.
To begin with, going to work oversea living in a foreign country and learning new experience has many pros. Firstly, a person who takes advantage of getting promotion in overseas branches or accepting an international job, will definitely gain a wide range of experience and useful skills. For example, robotic engineers who move to work in Japan, where the technology of robots has the best reputation, can learn the latest robotic technology better than working in domestic. Another advantage is the financial benefit, as working in developed nations such as the UK or the US provide a significant amount of money which is sometimes almost ten times higher than working in domestic. In addition, there is a chance for one to settle down permanently in developed nations as applying for citizenship will be easily if he/she works there.
However, moving to live far away from home can be disadvantageous. There are many risks that a person will face when he/she is living there. In term of health concern, if one does not take out health insurance and accidentally gets injured, it can be extremely expensive for one to cover all the medical costs in overseas. Moreover, an unwilling feeling such as homesickness or loneliness is also an unpleasant situation that a person has to face with. In order to over come this adaptation process, it is not very easy and requiring some time to adjust in a new environment.
To sum up, although an expensive income and valuable experience can allure many employees to work overseas, there are several negative consequences such as risky issues and emotional concerns that people need to carefully consider before making the momentous decision. Personally, I strongly believe that the pros still outweigh the cons for several aspects.
- All education and health care should be funded by the government and free for everyone. To extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 80
- When people move to another country some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country Others prefer to keep their own customs Compare these two choices Which one do you prefer Support your answer with specific details 65
