The plight of working overseas to provide financial support for your family.
When you can't earn a decent wage to support your family in your country you have the option to seek employment overseas. The sacrifice you make to separate from your family to live in a foreign country at the mercy of employers that don't observe labor laws. You have to adjust to customs in their country or you will standout and that's not good.
It's a dangerous endeavor working overseas. You are at the mercy of your employer. Not all employers are bad. It's a dice roll on who you get to work for. I have made some nice friends that have made the difficult choice to work overseas. The employers can be nice to very demanding. They own you. They control your life.
I dedicate this blog post to a dear friend working in the Middle East. That person lost a family member and was unable to return home to be with that loved one. Can you imagine the sorrow in your heart and the strength you need to continue on to perform your job duties. Think about what my friend went through the next time you feel that life is dealing you bad cards.
