I think compared to my country, working overseas is more guaranteed but unfortunately I have parents who can't be left behind because of that I took a job abroad via remote. in that way I can work and get the facilities provided and even be made like a good employee in a foreign company. Even so, I think we have to be careful because if you look for jobs online, more scams are found.

I am quite moved by what you have to say. you say that you have parents who are impossible to leave. from these words I judge you are a person who loves your parents sincerely.

But you have done well by still being able to work online at a foreign company. And that is an extraordinary achievement. so you can still get a salary at foreign wages but still be able to be at home and accompany your parents. good luck guys.

Most of the reasons why some of us even here in my own country leave to go overseas is due to their families. They wanted to support their families including their old parents to give back to all the sacrifices they made when they were still young. Back then, when someone no longer has an option as to where to get a decent job that pays more than our minimum wages, some people will willingly go out of country to work and would be gladly be called slaves just to give their family brighter future. Us who are living in the third world countries will only depend on that kind of jobs back then, since most of them didn't graduate with a degree or there are several circumstances that could prevent them from taking decent jobs such as lack of opportunities or they are not qualified enough due to high standards in our economy. The good thing is that, what I admired about this people are their tenacity, in which even if you can see that there is almost no hope for them, they will find a way to survive without commiting illegal deeds or doing something against their principle.

The same situation also occurs in my area. that is, most of the people who go to work are national families because it aims to be able to help their families who are at home. so that they can earn more money from better and higher wages in other countries. and hope that parents at home can be more financially assisted. Because indeed if we look at the minimum wage in developing countries we know that the current minimum wage is too low when compared to the increasingly high prices of necessities. so that some people are even forced to work abroad just to get a more decent salary and so they can support their family at home more properly. and it has been proven that many who work abroad when they return to their homeland are financially better off.

but it seems that if it's about moving abroad then I'm pretty sure even with the economic conditions in developing countries it's not very good. but it seems that the people here are more comfortable to stay in their own country. and they only want to go abroad not to settle there. but only to get a bigger paycheck and come back home having made enough money.

because of the fact that 3-6 months of standard salary in America can even buy a decent house in Indonesia.

This is one of the several reasons too. Another thing is that, due to lack of opportunities as I've said above, the competition on acquiring such jobs are very high, and in the end the local companies or even the government will have to choose someone who is the most capable among them, and since as I've also stated that most of my fellow citizens didn't graduate with a degree they will end up failing to acquire the position. Another reason also is because of that competition, some companies requires a lot of paper requirements that most of the times you will spent a decent amount to have them, that is why the only solution they see for those who wanted to sustain their families is to get a job which doesn't require expensive papers that is decent enough to support 5-6 family members at the same time letting the younger kids go to school, and that is going abroad or overseas.
