Question
QUESTION: Hi I’m James from India. 23 years old. I’m currently doing MBA – HR, PGDBA – HR and MKTNG (both are I regular mode) and Msc – Psychology – Distance mode.

I have done my BBA. I have worked for one year as CEO and Trainer in People First Chennai (Tamil Nadu Sate) which is a Training and Coaching Company. I’m also a freelance corporate trainer now. I’m also running a NGO – “Save the Globe” and helping youngsters through my training programs in India.

My Dream is to save 1 Crore by the year 2020 and give away a million for the poor and needy. My plan for that is I want to be able to save 1 Lack a month in Indian currency. I wanna work abroad for 5 to 10 years to make that amount to be financially free after that and then come back to India to do social work.

Which place is good for me to work? UK, Canada, Kuwait, Qatar, Australia and USA are my options. Where can I work to save 1 Lack every month in Indian currency? Where is it easy to get a job? Rough calculation is I need to save 1500 UK Pounds every month or 3000 Canadian Dollars every month. Is it possible to save that much? Please suggest. I wanna make the best out of this life and to contribute to people as long as I can. Thanx

ANSWER: Hi James,

Thank you for writing.
I have place responses to your questions below:

>>Which place is good for me to work? UK, Canada, Kuwait, Qatar, Australia and USA are my options.

There is opportunity in all of these places.  I cannot tell you which place would be best for you since I know very little about you.

>>Where is it easy to get a job?

It is probably fairly easy to get a job in any of these places.  But a job that pays according to your goals may be harder to find.  It depends on your knowledge and competency in the job for which you are applying.  You sound like you are intelligent and competent.

>>Rough calculation is I need to save 1500 UK Pounds every month or 3000 Canadian Dollars every month. Is it possible to save that much?

Yes.  It is possible.  It may not be easy, but it is possible.
