Why you shouldn't move abroad: the opinion of an immigrant

Already you will not surprise anyone by moving to another country, because today there are a lot of ways: study, work contract, marriage / marriage. Despite the fact that every year our compatriots move more and more to various parts of the world, there are several groups of people for whom emigration is not the best idea. Maria Shmotieva writes about this on her channel "Yandex.Zen". Next - from the first person.

So who is not allowed to move?

1. Hopes that abroad they will finally "heal"

I often come across the opinion that if nothing works out at home - there is no money, they don’t take a job, no personal life, then somewhere in Europe or America everything will definitely be different. Money will flow like a river, there will definitely be the love of my life, and I will be all so rich, successful, happy.

I know of many cases when compatriots really made a successful career, found personal happiness, found their place abroad and feel comfortable there. However, do not forget that the move itself does not mean automatic success.

Be honest: if you do not have a good knowledge of foreign languages, at least some kind of education, and in your resume you can only boast of the position of a waiter or a seller in a supermarket, why did you decide that everything abroad will turn out rosy and fine for you? Believe me, there will be a long way to the realization of your dream.

2. You are not independent and are afraid of everything

When I was working in France, an acquaintance came to visit me (we together participated in a competition for the selection of teachers in France, but it turned out that only me was chosen). The acquaintance was a "hothouse" girl who lived with her mother and was not particularly used to life's difficulties. After staying with me, she honestly told me: “Listen, I’m still glad that I didn’t go anywhere. Yes, you have a beautiful, interesting job here. But I would not be able to: prepare a million documents, make a visa, find an apartment yourself, control all accounts, meet local people, show yourself at work ... I would have howled in a week and returned home! ”.

Moving is a real test for independence and organization: to draw up the correct package of documents, find housing (and this is often a real quest!), Correctly distribute finances, be able to integrate into a new environment and a million more tasks. Are you ready for this challenge?

3. You don't get along with anyone anywhere

Each of us will find a friend who is not like this: "I left work, the team is disgusting", "I live all alone, only some fools come across", "I had a fight with friends / mom / boss again."

Categories of people “I am the only smart one, I stand beautiful in a white coat” both at home and abroad it is not sweet. In addition, you need to adapt to new conditions: another country, work, mentality and way of life, strangers. Grinding your teeth and showing a bad temper, get ready to pack your bags back home. Nobody wants to deal with a capricious "come in large numbers" foreigner. If you want to settle down, sometimes step on the throat of your interests.

4. Everything is very good in your country and in your homeland

You have succeeded in life: a decent profitable job, good housing, a beloved family. There is everything you need to be happy. In this case, think 100 times why you need to go somewhere. Will you lose what you have been building for years? What do you miss at home? Perhaps it is better to get by with travel and approach the dream of emigration more thoroughly, carefully weighing everything?
