These days, it seems like everyone wants to experience working and living abroad—even if it's just temporarily. The truth is, however, it's insanely competitive; the list of in-demand jobs is short and you'll have to fight like hell to land one that pays well.
According to a January to October 2017 job report by Workabroad.ph, the three highest-paid specializations are: healthcare roles in the Middle East, land-based engineering and IT jobs in Asia, and sea-based engineering positions overall.
A fact that stood out to us the most is that nurses continue to be one of the most in-demand professionals!
In the Middle East, nurses with five years of experience can earn up to P65,000 a month; in Asia, those with less than four years of experience take home around P50,000; and in the U.S., nurses are paid close to P80,000.
