WHY DOES IMMIGRANT VENEZUELANS COST BOTH EXIT SUCCESSFULLY ABROAD? Part 1.

My best Greetings, Steemian community! It’s a pleasure to share with you information of common interest; in this opportunity I want to offer you an information and reflection post; from the economic, psychosocial and even cultural point of view.

As a result of all the migratory boom that crosses my country (Venezuela), my head has been going through a reflective phase in relation to what are the exact reasons of the great majority of young people who decide to leave the "comfort" of their home, to a country where they have never been, where they have no knowledge of the laws that regulate and protect an employee, and where they are not next to their own. (I have never left Venezuela)

"I am fighting for my future and my family’s", "I came to this country looking for a better life quality", "I got tired of not having anything in Venezuela". In contrast to this, there are many claims that life in other countries really becomes a challenge, when apart from being in chronic loneliness (in many cases), the Venezuelan begins to know the habits and legalities of the country where He has decided to make his life. And, well, why deny it? We love a holiday, a Sunday under the blankets all day, and a long weekend. We have been instilled with that power to find mini vacations at any time, and we enjoy every day that they give us for work. With roasts, pools, or movies and a lot of snacks.

The adverse situation is due to the shocking change that denotes the absence of the social circle that has been acquired with years of socialization, and this is what generates the emotional burden of the issue of migration.
Then my questions begin; Despite this custom of the gatherings during the week, with or without holidays, do not we have the right to have a good job? Do not we deserve as young professionals, entrepreneurs and wanting more, to have both professional and personal growth opportunities? Ask yourself and be honest; Are there such opportunities in the Venezuelan labor market?

Market research has shown for some years that 37.5% of the employed population has their own income and not a job in the public or private sector, and that the demand for truly qualified personnel is abysmally disproportionate to the job offers that fit the personal and professional needs of the candidate; making that, depending on the economic depression of the country, these needs are distorted and a priority for the employee, simply to comply with a work schedule and receive a fairly decent compensation. The labor benefits lose meaning and attractiveness, therefore it is looking to generate income through the informal market.

The idiosyncrasy with which we leave the national territory shakes us mentally when we meet countries where the only days that are not working are Christmas and New Year, where working days are greater than 10 or 12 hours, and even 20 or 24; with a short period of time to recover and return to the job site. I have heard on more than one occasion "here is working as a donkey", and a phrase that particularly brings me a shock of emotions: "there you can not rest, there you work the 8 hours"; Now I ask myself: is not that what should be done? Comply with the tasks inherent to your position in the 8 hours that are assigned daily for that, and if not, continue them the next day; according to the urgency or priority of the need? I want to make clear to you readers; that I am more Venezuelan than the arepa, and that I will defend my country and my countrymen, as much or more than the pizza without pineapple; but to Caesar what is of Caesar. If being in Venezuela, your remuneration went adrift due to the economic embezzlement that crosses the country, and you left to increase your earnings, represent your family abroad, and develop as a professional, then receive what comes along with that; WORK.

I don’t deny the existence of exploitation, because there is, extensively to Venezuelans who have left the country without papers in order to practice abroad; topic that I would like to discuss in another post; but the core of many of the failures in the jobs of Venezuelans abroad is in the employee's vision in relation to what he wants to obtain from employment. If you are a countryman working in any other part of the world, ask yourself what are you looking for with that job? What do you earn, apart from the money? Are you happy? Do you think that this job will generate growth and / or career development in you, or is it more of the same as what you saw in Venezuela?

Weigh your answers with what you really want, what you really need, and MOVE. Even with limited opportunities, and opportunely valid fears, you and only you have the power and the decision to move, to leave where you are not happy. After all, you left your house, you took off your mother's umbilical cord, from your grandmother's arepitas, from your country, so taking off from a job where you are only tied for a fortnight should be a piece of cake for you.

You are a young person, intelligent, brave, and with many things to give, discover, and ask for life. It is perfectly understandable that you have doubts about this, because you are alone and far from home, but you are in all your right to be and to produce joy and tranquility. If you really took your bags and are part of the migration index because "you are looking to improve your life quality", dare to change, dare to run, and dare to be happy with what you do, so that, among other things, You don’t have to call him work.
