If you have the means, travel to some foreign country & live there abit
If not, try applying for some sort of temporary working permit etc, do some jobs to sustain yourself, & see if you really belong there or not |

yup... as per many advises here.... travels to other places first... then try working / staying there for extended period... see wether can or not. uni time is the best time to adjust to new places.. often pipu work in near place of graduate

Did it and loving it at the moment. Better money, better weather and lesser stress. Not sure about you. It depends on the individual.

New zealand is the best country for TS to tryout, with a working holiday scheme. People can be friendlier and more welcoming than anyone you've known, so it feels like home and easier to settle down. Just go south where there is less maori.

I wasn't born with a silverspoon in my mouth. My grades were just 'average'. Finished F5 and can't get into F6. Relatives in Canada sponsored me over. When that day came, just packed my bags and headed to the airport and that was it. The unspoken rule was I aint coming back until I got my degree. In Canada, I did my G12. Again, average grades. Applied to uni and had to wait till early Aug to I get my acceptance letter Cream of the crops get their choice while people like me were fillers. Took me 5 years to complete my degree. Why?? cvos i bombed my Calculus on my first attempt. Calculus was a prerequiste course for some of the courses. So it was 6 years beore I go home. When I got home I cannot tahan the heat and humidity. House has no air con.Only fans. Still remembers taking 6-7 baths a day just to cool down Was very happy when that day came when I headed to the airport. Back to Canada Currently working with company whose clients are oil/gas companies, pulp and paper companies, mining companies and petrochemical companies. Coming back to Malaysia to work?? Forget it. I am just a BSc holder with average grade. I am sure Talent Corp consider me as a non talent. Despite the gov't taking some 25% of my paycheque, I am still better off financially. Car is cheap, gas is cheap. food is cheap, eating out is expensive but junk food is cheap ,electronic stuff are cheap etc. Eg Nissan Rogue AWD 2013 model is around $27k while gas is around $1.15/L, 10 pcs KFC plus medium fries is less than $21. Working and pay taxes,health care is taken care off. No need to buy expensive private insurance etc etc My advise. if you thinking of migration, don't be sentimental.

Let me tell u that is not easy to just migrate to other place.
Full of struggle and hard work.. Dont fcukin care abt ppl la.. Let them hate u n do whatever they want as long as u not get hurt psychally.. U r not gonna die just bcz u alone n dont have friend.. Try to enjoy ur lonely time.. Make urself comfortable.. After all its ur life.. Best friend not necessary to be alot.. That maybe social friends who come to u when u on top.. But seriously if u wanna go.. Just go now before u become more comfortable with ur life.. At certain age ppl tend to become lazy n just rather stay at their comfort zone.. Now its just the matter of money to support u out there.. |

You need a good financial background and working permit as well before u can migrate to another country....unless u planning on doin it illegally.
Its not easy but if u happens to earn the citizens right in another country then u can consider yourself lucky |

Please give me some opinion and advice, i would really cherish every single of you. =)  Found out that grass is not always greener on the other side. Went overseas for all the wrong reason like you did, found out other country also have they own quirk that will annoy you. Also found out that wherever you go you need to adapt either way. If you can't do it here, chances are you can't do it there. |

Problem is, it is not that easy to migrate, there are quite a lot to fulfil. Maybe you should think about where to migrate first?

my father told me , when he was like 17 ( his parents just send him to england alone to do his own things cause they had no money to travel with him nor knowledge about education etc ) and so my father had gone through the hard life of no guidance alone in england . working 2 jobs during his education years and trying to make ends meet .
i dont think nowadays students would work at the same time and study rite . more like parents fully finance them . and now , hes and electrical engineer earning enough to support 5 people in the family + 2-3 ( on his relative side ) ,not to mention my mother side =.= and yet he can still buy car and properties . O.O fully finance my bigger brother to study overseas and now he graduated as an electrical enginneer . like father and son . now its my turn , i just started uni for economics degree and again full blown financial help from him . and education is not cheap ( not to mention if ure planning for overseas study ) at least rm250k+ overall. imagine my bro , me and not long later , my sister . so im trying to get a scholarship to ease his burden . i know i will never get to fully repay rm250K+ and time to him and when hes old , money is no longer a thing to him . right now , yes but by the time IF i manage to repay him , no ! sometimes i think , my father is like an iron man . able to support so many people with his hard earn money and yet still managable . and yet im still sitting here , fbing , youtube etc etc not thinking about how much to earn , how to climb the cooperate ladders, how to be successful at a young age bla bla bla =/ |

You can migrate easily to another country provided if you have relatives , but if you want to go by merit , well my friend - you'll have to earn for it

One thing for sure, your TARC degree won't help much
 Unless you migrate when you are a highly sought after professional/ skilled worker (nurse/ engineer etc) This post has been edited by klein: Oct 23 2012, 09:15 AM |

I am a foreigner living in Malaysia.
3 years ago, graduated from college and can not find a suitable job at my country,and I decided to go.1st time, everything not as what i was expected.Like you're on your own with no direction home - like a complete unknown. Pity the poor immigrant! and I think that homesickness often hits people in ways that surprise them. Living in a new country may be a little bit different from your accustomed way of life and after the initial period featured by curiosity and enthusiasm, you may find yourself bewildered and uncomfortable.Many difficulties that you may experience. But everything will be fine. |
