Hello everyone. I've done BBA from Bahria university Islamabad and now I want to move abroad.
Which country would you guys recommend? Is it necessary to go on a student visa? Can't I just go to find work like Dubai where you just get visit visa, find work and then convert your visa? A little guidance will be appreciated.
Hey man. Got money? Anything's possible.
- GOT MONEY?: Able to spill some serious cash, say millions? USA, Canada and stuff. I'm sure others can give you a better idea about this.
- GOT MONEY?: Do some business instead. A small retail shop can still be extremely fruitful, given the right strategy.
- DON'T HAVE MONEY?: i.e. an ordinary PK citizen, looking for a job to support his family ... well, you're in for some real sh*t.
BBA gives you
NOTHING, but a piece of paper, and (wasted) years behind your back.[/B] You will lack experience, confidence, patience and above all ... skills. The last part is extremely crucial, which almost all newcomers just do not have. For example, if your focus area is accounting and finance, you MUST have hands-on experience with some 'key' software such as SAP B1, FI, Oracle JDEdwards, QuickBooks, etc etc. THIS is what will make you valuable. Your degree can only '
assist' you in your valuation. Basically,
"YOU" will get yourself a job. Your degrees won't.
Solution? Get some work experience in Pakistan. I am not talking about "Internships". You should most definitely start from internships, and try to start from multinational companies. Then work your way up. There is a big chance that you will get settled and have a decent job in your own country.
For what its worth, i had to leave Pakistan because of personal reasons, otherwise, i was perfectly happy with my life, earning just enough to make ends meet. I never wished for more money, as long as i am having a nice meal 3 times a day, able to give out some without any problem, and buy a few of the grocery for my family. ALHAMDULLILLAH.
And that should be a note to you as well. NEVER run behind money. It will ruin you in every way. Your morals, your priorities, or even your good night sleep. Focus on getting experience, start small, work your way upto top ... and one day, you will get there. Remember.
Every dog has it's day. In this world, EVERYONE has their time to shine. It's promised by our creator. Before that time, you CANNOT and WILLNOT get anywhere.
With that being said, i would agree with ahsan below. Middle East has become a GoTo market for literally every tom dick and harry, from around the globe. Jobs are less, but the inflow of people is extremely high. Result? Prices go down. What you, as a Pakistani, will earn here in normal respectable jobs ... you can earn pretty much equivalent of that in your home country. Plus, you are able to save ... something which you just can't do here in Middle East anymore.
Anyway, I hope it's useful for you. And best of luck for your future prospects. It's a new race in your life. Don't run in this alone. Have your life partner with you to share your glory. Take it from me. Been through this sh*t.
Dont waste urself in Middle East if you dont have any skill other than a degree. Get urself any credible skill and spent some years in Pak and then move out to shine. Just a brotherly tip as i have been through all this. Again its just a suggestion. Good Luck
