These days, there are more and more people immigrating to other countries. A majority of those who immigrate are seeking a better life. I myself have lived abroad in many different countries for many years, but I strongly believe that living abroad is not the best way for everyone.
Going abroad to developed countries opens up many doors to anyone who sets goals and works hard. There are more opportunities to get a better paying job with better benefits. Employers provide much better working conditions and the pay is usually much better compared to one's own country. Developed countries, like America or England, also offer better environment for children, which includes better education systems better school facilities, and better laws to protect young ones. Those who stay abroad to study for a short period of time, take advantage of the developed countries' advanced education opportunities. After staying in foreign countries as " international students", they are more likely to get a better job when they go back. Whatever the reason is, the common factor here is that they are all seeking more opportunities.
However, not everyone succeeds in living abroad. Some people do not adjust well into the host society for different reasons: the cultural differences as well as the language barrier. Due to those reasons, many immigrants always live as the "minority", and sometimes even face discrimination. The first generation of immigrants face huge disadvantages, which can cause financial losses.
Immigrating to a foreign country to live, to work or to study is not as easy as everyone thinks. If someone goes abroad with absurd ideas, they will be left with unprofitable results. In order to get the best out of going abroad, one must learn to adapt to differences between two cultures. Although everyone is different in their own ways, if he or she is not willing to accept new things, going abroad is not the best way for them to achieve better things in life.
