Some people are getting far too wound up this week over Brexit. Wife's employers have asked her to try and not mention it as it makes them so angry. They're both bio-chemists and have some pharmaceutical research company. Google brings them up so have read about them and their business.

Eh? I'm not middle class. Am as poor as a church mouse. My dad was only a gas meter reader and my mum a BT telephone operator.

And so you are complacent with your current situation and have been all your life from what I'm seeing. People who make life changing decisions to live and work abroad are not.

What I'm saying is they don't HAVE TO go and work abroad. It's because they WANT to and they're complaining leaving the EU will make it a bit harder.

Speaking of your wife, if you want to know about why people move abroad ASK HER MAYBE?? :|

but of course she's not a real person

She wanted to send money home to her poor family in Philippines. The tradition was to send one child abroad to work. She was in Lebanon before coming here.

Your chances of getting a job from 0 (impossible) to 100 (extremely easy) fall from a 80-90 to a 15 at best. Also I'm only taking into account the jobs you are genuinely qualified for. You have to be better than all of the people they searched for in 26 (or whatever the number is) countries! And even after that you will be in competition with other non-EU migrants. And there are PLENTY of bright people in Africa, Americas and Asia who work their entire lives in hopes of becoming someone and moving somewhere else so they already have this advantage over you guys.

 

You really should stay in your lane when it comes to discussion about the job market as you don't seem to have a clue how this shit even works.

Am I missing something here? Why do people want to go and work abroad? What's wrong with staying and carving out a career in your own country of birth and supporting the economy there?

 

Please explain the advantages of going abroad. I know retired people go for the sun mainly.

I dont know. Better pay, better environment, better career oppurtunities. Yes that is selfish but it works both ways so there should be no problem. For the amount of people that leave the UK to work abroad at least the same amount came in from Europe to support the british system.

 

Just cause you lack the ambition doesnt mean others don't have the drivr to make a living for themselves

 

I for one moved country to go to uni and I plan on staying here

Hiya. In order to do as you say, and have a career in the country I was born in, I needed EU freedom of movement to do so.

 

Just because you’re close minded doesn’t mean the rest of the world is. There is many many benefits that come from working in another country and broadening your horizons. There are demonstrable benefits to bi-lingualism that people want to attain.

 

Also living in and experiencing another culture is a wonderful thing. Makes you see the world from a new perspective

For teachers of English as a foreign language, it's where a lot of the jobs are. You should be able to work out why.

 

Lots of people want to experience new places and expand their horizons. Some people are less interested but that's no excuse for making it more difficult for people who want to do it.

You guys' replies are far more polite than what I wanted to reply.

And his "reasoning" is a big part of why people stripped us of our European rights.

If we only did things we had to do, our lives would be the most mundane ever. Why is the idea of people following their dreams so unappealing to you?

 

You’ll understand if we can’t take you seriously when you talk about jobs.

If there's one post that shows just how insular Chris really is, it's that one right there.

Better money? Living conditions? Weather? Easier to save? Experience different cultures, get a different perspective on life.

 

Just because you lack ambition, drive, and determination doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer.

 

You're thinking is so basic. You have no life experience and yet you think you should get to call the shots on what everyone else can and can't do...and then when you get called out you just ignore people's responses.

 

Utter troll, sort your life out.

No life experience? Chris is 60, which possibly makes him the oldest poster here. :unsure:

Lmao if only that meant more life experience. In ‘living’ as in existing maybe but beyond that...

OK, but if so, surely it is Chris's choice to be insular, while others take the opposite view - after all, you wouldn't want everyone to be the same? :unsure: Ambition is mainly for the young anyway - we don't know anything about what Chris wanted to do/be when he was, say, 20. Often life beats you down, which drains many of their aspirations.

I'm surprised no-one has drawn attention to this...

This has literally nothing to do with what I just said. It's not wrong to not have ambition or aspirations. But if you bang on and on about the EU job market like some kind of expert ("it's going to be a BIT harder to get a job in the EU now"......) having never worked properly then you're clearly out of your depth to talk about it. Educate yourself and use facts if you don't have first-hand experience. A lot of people here including myself are working or have tried working/finding a job in the EU and so they DO know what they are talking about. This is my point.

Preach.
