It is better to work in the country than in the city in today's world.

Advantages:

1. Desolation. People who work in the country will not feel stress compared to those who live in the hustle and bustle life in the city. Country is much more serene and peaceful. One can do work without the busy and hectic situation like in the city.

2. Easy to get job. If in the city, we have to compete with each others to get jobs, even the low-salary job. This is because if we want to get better and fix jobs, we need to have a better qualification and certificate that the job itself requires. And yes, in our opinion, in the future, even if we want to become a 'makcik cleaner' or 'pakcik gardener' in the city, we have to have at least, a diploma. LOL!

3. No strict rules. Here means, that we do not get restricted by rules like we have to begin work at 8 and end at 5 or so. We can begin and end our work at whatever time we like. Plus, one does not have to wear tie or coat or even black shiny shoes to work in the estate.

4. Cheap. Hurmm, that explains well we guess. The cost of living in the city is too expensive including everything - price of the fuel, LRT fare, a cup of Starbucks, and even to go to the toilet to answer the call of nature. Ahaks.

5. Simple jobs. If we live in the countrysides and have to work there, or we live anywhere but we have to work in the country still, we will tend to do simple jobs like managing the estates, gardening, fishing and some other jobs that do not really need brains to squeeze out. Although it is not that easy, but at least we do not have to think on how to change the world for better, or sit in the office and think like Einstein!

Disadvantages:

1. Non-fix/Low-pay salary. Working in the country does not ensure you to get fix or high salary. Usually, it is just enough for you to earn for a day. You will not have a fix amount of salary and this will lead you to an unsure future. That, in other word, you have to manage your income well and work hard!

2. Less obstacles and challenges. We do not have to compete with each others and this will not expose us to a healthy competition. This is not good as we will feel comfortable of what we are doing and do not try to improve them.

3. Does not look classy. Yup, we think this way and others might to. Because it is country - or in Malaysia better known as 'kampung', people will easily underestimate those who work or live there for worse. Maybe because they do not wear Prada shoes, Burberry coats or even at least, Louis Vuitton handbags, they will be look up as 'budak kampung'.

4. Far away from the new cutting-edge technologies. True, they are not connected with the internet or Wi-filess, thus preventing them to get accessed or reach out to the world out there. They will be lack of IT knowledge and out-dated in people's view. And they will not even know what YouTube is!

5. Do not socialize. There will be lack of communication and social skills. They will tend to remain reserved or keep quiet when facing with the public and this is not good if a person wants to promote their products. Yup, for some (or many) in the country, they do not know how to speak in English and this will make them feel not belonging to the society especially in the city as English is the international language that it is a must for everybody to learn nowadays.
