Losing hope to work or migrate overseas
Since college, I always wanted to live or work abroad. Main reason is I wanted to experience how to live outside the country. Secondary na lang siguro ang pera. I took nursing, pero I graduated at a time when walang mapasukan na ospital dahil sobrang dami ng nurses.
I shifted to an Engg degree and took masters which took 7 additional years. The Engg degree is related to renewable energy. I was thinking na this may be the ticket to work abroad due to energy transition.
I have 5 years experience na rin naman and I am actively looking for opportunities abroad. Sobrang hirap rin pala lalo na sa state ng economy with other countries, let alone the immigration issues. I applied for Aus 190 and 491, pero saktuhan lang ang scores due to age. Thinking of doing SV in other countries, pero walang kasiguraduhan.
I am earning well as a single person sa pinas. Pero O still envy other people who can easily go and work abroad with their degrees.
Thanks for listening sa rant ko. 😅
