IELTS Essay Brain Drain
Working for ones own country has been considered
patriotic as one serves his or her own
countrymen. However, there are some that are not
satisfied with what they have here making them
leave the country and practice abroad. With this,
a country will be experiencing brain drain.
Nowadays, finding a job in the country, the
Philippines, has been fairly difficult. There are
growing numbers of professionals but the demands
for these professionals are not enough in the
Philippines. Certain professions that are highly
in demand in other countries are scientists,
engineers, accountants, medical professionals
like nurses, doctors, physical therapists, and
skilled workers like butchers. Though our country
needs these professionals, the amount of job
offers are very limited that these talents are
put into waste. Hence, they choose to practice
their expertise abroad.

If these professionals work abroad, how can these
affect the country? With every loss of
professionals in the country, the supply of such
profession decreases. When the time comes where
their own country needs these profession, the
problem then arises as most competitive
professionals are already out of the country
working. However, the country can gain advantage
from these professionals working abroad. They
help the economy in their own little way and at
the same time providing recognition to Filipinos
as one of the countries with the most hard
working individuals and highly competitive with
the strict demand overseas. In a nut shell, in
any aspect, the issue of brain drain has both
advantage and disadvantage. It can be of help as
it helps the countrys economy but can be a
downside as the county loses its own
professionals.

For Filipinos, working abroad has been a part of
their plan as soon as they finish their degrees
in the university. People have different reasons
why they would prefer working abroad than here in
our country. However, it is more on practicality.
Because of everybody wants to provide their own
families with a better standard of living where
they can live a happier life, Filipinos make huge
decisions on working abroad. Since working abroad
offers a very competitive salary and better
career development, Filipinos choose this career
path. Once presented with a good opportunity
abroad, Filipinos are sure to work hard on it to
become success and attain satisfaction both
personally and professionally.
