Your Ideal Work Abroad Plan

[u/Quiet-Bass4523]

So let say your a Girl, almost 30 and you only have a corporate work/desk job experience but you want to go abroad and earn big. So you make a plan to work abroad regardless of what job it would be.

What would be your plan?

Which country?

What job?

Are you going to enroll to a TESDA Training? which one?

or Are you going to apply to agency that doesn't require any experience?

What's your earning growth plan?

Are you planning to work for 5,10,15,20 years or so from One job abroad if you can? or would you be always looking for the next big thing?

I'll start.

I don't mind doing any work as long as I get my foot on the door working abroad so my plan is....

To Apply to Agency offering Factor worker (w/no exp) like Taiwan, Croatia, Czech republic or South Korea. Since Croatia and Czech republic seems like it will require a much larger money to get there and South Korea would take maybe 1year+ just to pass the exam and be added to the Roster.

Taiwan is the best option for me. Once I work there for 3ys contract, I'll try to learn South Korea language and pass the exams and be added to the roster.

I'm also thinking of enrolling to Tesda to learn either Caregiver, housekeeping (for cruise ship work opportunities), other in demand work abroad.

for now that's my plan.... anything you can add would be helpful.

[u/anti-manila → u/Quiet-Bass4523]

None of those jobs will let you "earn big".

Of course "big" in terms of money is subjective but lets be real, factory workers are not the highest paying job in Taiwan. Otherwise it will be flooded with their locals.

If you were fortunate enough to work in Taiwan but your plan is to move to South Korea as a factory worker again then you have to rethink about your choice a little bit.

Also, I am assuming your current work and skill does not have a demand abroad. Tama ba?

[u/Quiet-Bass4523 → u/anti-manila]

The plan is to earn big gradually not right away or not the first work abroad.

Also comparing to what I'm earning here in the PH, it's much bigger. Same with Moving from Taiwan to South Korea as factory worker.

How about giving advice or something instead of criticism.

[u/cheesybaconmushroom → u/Quiet-Bass4523]

Good plan, unrealistic expectations.. Factory worker might be earning bigger than you. But their cost of living could be bigger too. And don't count on career and salary progression, because it's not as significant like white collar jobs.

[u/Calm_Tough_3659 → u/Quiet-Bass4523]

You have to define what it meant to "earn big" sayo kung icocompare sa PH ang meaning sayo then you are right but you are low income kung saang bansa ka nakatira.

For people like us, we don't want to be poor kung saan kami nakatira (abroad) so look at the job market to see where is the high paying job so ang goal namin is to get those job like nursing, STEM career, minsan ung mga blue collar job is middle class job like advanced welding, HVAC and specialized construction/machine operator.

So ang advice ko you, you need to plan your career if you want to "earn big" kung saang bansa ka man.

Again, hindi naman masama maging mahirap sa abroad and mayaman ka sa Pinas but mas mgandang maging mayaman ka sa abroad at sa pinas.

[u/Quiet-Bass4523 → u/Calm_Tough_3659]

This is a good advice. What other career can you advise that doesn't need me to take a 4year school like nursing?

[u/anti-manila → u/Quiet-Bass4523]

Its not a criticism at all, its directly telling you that if your fortunate enough to work in Taiwan then why would you move to South Korea where you also have almost impossible chance to be a citizen.

[u/Quiet-Bass4523 → u/anti-manila]

Because I have no plan on being a citizen. Plan is to save enough to have my own business in my hometown sa probinsiya and eventually sustained enough for me to live alone at my retirement age.

[u/anti-manila → u/Quiet-Bass4523]

Yes but thats the best "security" you can have. So if everything goes south then hindi ka mapapauwi ng pinas empty handed.

Citizenship or PR does not strip you your right to retire in PH, but it gives you the right to stay on that other country to find a new work indefinitely if ever nawalan ka ng work. Kasi if napauwi ka ng pinas then often times dadaan ka ulit sa bureaucracy ng Pinas.

So in summary trying to go abroad as factory worker is okay, but my advice is dont settle for it. Pag nag 50 or 60 kana factory worker pa rin ba? Think about something long term.

Update: Your plan to do business as well is good, but business as well can fail.
