I'm considering working abroad as teacher/ factory worker/ fruit picker

Career Path

Hello po! I (25F) am working as an ESL/International Academy Teacher with around 20-28k monthly pay depending on how many hours I work and currently living in the province so medyo okay na din po yung salary for me.

I have a BSEd English degree but I don't think it is my calling to become a teacher esp. sa country natin. I've been applying as Admin Officer in DepEd, okay naman po ang standing pero because walang backer, di rin po nakakapasok. Nagwork na din po ako sa provincial government as a casual employee for 6 months. LET passer, CSE-Prof passer, and TEFL holder din po ako.

Lately, I'm getting interested in working abroad esp. in Taiwan or any other countries as factory worker/fruit picker/ teacher. Pero hindi pa po ako fully determined about it kasi I do love my current job but I don't want to limit myself din naman. I have a small problem lang po which is my hyperthyroidism (hindi pwede ma-stress at mapagod ng sobra).

Any thoughts or advice po about this? I honestly find myself facing diverged roads for possibilities/potentials and I just can't decide. I'm not getting any younger na din and my mother is a senior citizen na. Gusto ko sanang mapatapos na yung bahay namin and spoil ko siya while she's still living since grabe sacrifices niya just to make sure na makapagtapos kami magkakapatid. I'm trying to live independently and I have to take care of my single tita in the future na naging 2nd mother namin.

Salamat po in advance.
