Nowadays millions of people throughout the world tend to spend part of their career in another country. Some people believe that working overseas can bring many benefits while others are convinced that it has serious drawbacks.

According to my point of view, working abroad can be both attractive and challenging. Firstly, it gives an excellent chance to get a good living standart, salary and career growth because it enables people to be more efficient, to create skills and gain experience. Secondly, it opens new possibilities for educational development, travelling, dealing with people from different cultural groups and for a total immersion into the foreign atmosphere and culture. Thirdly, a job abroad is a great opportunity to improve linguistic skills and fluency in another language.

Nevertheless, we can find the opinion that working away from homeland, family and friends makes people feel homesick, and they should overcome the depression and cope with the nostalgia. Besides, they suffer from cultural shock and differences in lifestyle, beliefs and values.

However, I absolutely disagree because in the days of the Internet connection people can call, email, Skype and exchange photos. I am sure that the experience of the cultural diversity will give a deeper understanding of the own culture.

All in all, it is important to note that people often think that “The grass is always greener on the other side”. It goes without saying that working abroad is a great adventure and a challenging experience which can enrich people’s life and career.
