Hi I'm 25F graduate of Civil Engineer also a passer. When I was reviewing for my Exam my mother pushed me to take thin interview gor overseas worker as machine inspector in Japan. It was like a back up plan for me if I didn't passed the exam. But when I passed and haven't known the result for the Japan worked seems like a no go for me. Last year of December when I got the result that I passed for the work and will get the contract in January given that I still don't have work at that time thought japan is the only option.
Working in Japan the agency said that I still need schooling for language learning before deployment. But there's no date for that still me thinking it'll be a waste of time waiting I applied to work in lone withmy profession. I previously work in a general contractor firm so i have almost a year of experience but it took me 2 months to have my current work as a procurement in a real estate company. The work is okay, not much workload. I think for the work that I've been doing the salary is okay although it is not enough for an engineer to earn. It's like low for a licenced engineer. The benefits is good tho i think I'll appreciate the benefits when I work there for over a year.
And now with me almost 2months working, there's suddenly a news that we will start schooling for japanese language. Now I'm torn. My mother has been pushing me to go to Japan bc she said I'm the only one she's counting on even though my older brother is also in Japan and haven't supporting us. All the pressure is on me now. Should I continue the japan work it's a 3 year contract and it is in okayama I've been researching about the place and it seems good for me. Or should I just keep on working here in the Philippines and pursue my profession? I really don't know what to do. If I'm going for the money the Japan work does have a decent offer but was it that worth it? Will I be able to save for a house for my family in the Philippines?
