a look at location, hard work and smart work economically.

[BigTarget]

People change location nationally and internationally in search of economic stability, to live daily, for comfort and privilege to enjoy basic things of life.
What actually is the reality behind this change of location economically with regards to hard work and smart work individually?
Does it mean hard work and or smart work are most times or some times not enough in former location(s)?

Why do people change their locations nationally or internationally? Obviously to bring ease to their lives. Who would like to leave their house, their homelands, their relatives, kids, wives and parents alone? It’s because they want them to live a life of financial freedom. Here, I am talking about collective culture and tradition which seems very common in Asian countries. For western countries, they just want to expose the world as they have individual culture and everybody is on his own there. To look for better chances and opportunities is the aim of too many while changing their locations.

The pay rate varies in every country. In some countries you get pennies for working 8 hours straight while in other countries you can even earn hundreds for the same amount of work. So hard work here will not really matter if you are still residing in a economically backward country. Moving to a developed nation will be a good choice and I can consider it as a smart work. The amount of work will remain the same but the pay rate will increase drastically which will not only help us secure our financial goals but can also make our lifestyle much better.

We should not forget about the cost of living though. Usually the cost of living in developed nations will be much higher and the rent alone can be in a few thousand dollars. We should be prepared to manage our finances by our own at least for a couple of months until and unless we settle in the new nation. Not everyone is prepared for that and that is the reason why not everyone plans on moving to a developed nation just because they can be paid extra.

I couldn't agree more with you on this and that's the reason people prefer to go to those areas where the currency is higher so they can get a higher pay. To them that's value earned for their services.

Some people won't really mind it after all they because of they were living in areas where the pay was peanuts but the expenses were much but they still survived so this is something they feel they'd be able to work a way around. Some people who move to these developed areas pick up more than one job for situations like the one you mentioned.

Interesting question tbh. I kinda think it's both—sometimes hard/smart work isn't enough in the former location because of inflation, low wages, or few tech jobs. But also, moving doesn't automatically fix things; you still gotta work hard and smart in the new place. Wonder if anyone here moved countries and found that their crypto skills or online earnings became more valuable elsewhere? Would be cool to hear stories. Maybe the "smart work" is building remote income (like coding or trading) before you move.

People only consider moving from one place to another, whether within their own country or abroad, if they cannot find good work that provides a decent life or if their efforts and skills are not appreciated.

This often happens in developing countries where wages are low and do not match the effort or skills, so people look for job opportunities abroad, especially in rich countries. This is a big problem that may lead to a shortage of labor and skills in these countries, so they must find radical solutions to solve this problem.

I used to work overseas in search of a better life. My skills and hard work are poorly compensated in my home country. The same level of skills and hard work are sufficiently compensated in another country. As a matter of fact, I worked less for a bigger pay abroad. I wasn't overloaded with tasks.

I have so many family and friends who moved abroad for a better life bringing with them hard work and skills. They're now living well. Had they remained here, they would have continued overworking, underpaid, and only wishing for a better life. 

That is so true. Moving abroad will make our lives much better. Even the lifestyle will change along with the friends circle which will make us live a prosperous life. Even in my country we do not have much options to maximize the earnings. I have seen people stay here and work for decades for the same payroll which ends up making strict budgeting every month so they can survive the month end. This has been going on since decades now. People who moved abroad are the ones who took initial risk but their lives are much better now.

I never had this opportunity but I have a few relatives who moved abroad and now just come back in holiday seasons. But looking at them, I really envy their lifestyle and the amount of money they make for doing way less work than an average person in my country. I too would fly abroad the first chance I get just to make my lifestyle much better and additionally earn more.

Mostly the reason why people used to have change their location of live because jobs opportunities and i think it's human nature to always be seeking the better places to earn money to live but the trend has been change now because in the digital era people have smart work and there are many of jobs opportunities from the internet that depend on the skill which we have people can go work without changed their location of life because work from internet can do for everywhere even in our room

[Findingnemo]

It is obvious that where more people live the opportunity to make money will be higher too, and that is how human civilization evolved, and they gathered in one place and started living as a group. In an urban or small town, you can live a better life too but if you are someone who starts from scratch, then cities are the place where you should start and even better if you have the privilege to move to another country where you have better policies that support small businesses.

Some people need a place to appreciate those who have smart work and smart work, different locations have different potentials that they are doing, infrastructure, access, strategic locations and the need to achieve a better life can be fulfilled with a supportive location too, it is not arbitrary, because it is impossible for you to stay in a place that cannot provide anything to those who cannot benefit from it or seems to grow slower than in other places that already really support your abilities.

That also changes based on job you have as well. Some software engineer in California will obviously make a lot of money compared to someone in small African nation working as a janitor. And yes, the gap between software engineer in California and software engineer in small African nation is also small as well, but at least it's a freelance job that everyone can earn a decent income from, whereas janitor is not.

This is why it matters where you live, but it also matters which job you are doing as well. This is why many third world country people end up learning a skill they can sell online, in order to make some money, even if not a skill, they will build account farms for many games and other things to make some money.

In countries and cities with few opportunities, neither working hard nor working smart is enough. In many developing countries, salaries are very low, and that pushes a lot of people to move to places with more stable economies, where their work, knowledge, and effort are actually valued and better paid.

[Makus]

if you live in a third world country like Nigeria you would understand why a lot of citizens including those that are not even living in poverty prefer to live foreign countries, this has a lot to do with how backwards Nigeria is,  most people travel so they can get opportunities that they know vere citizens. but this all depends on your profession,  there are some people that don't have to travel out before they can start earning good amounts of money , this is why it is important to learn high value skill, I only consider travelling out based on just taking  a vacation

Location matters more than people like to admit. Hard work in the wrong place can still leave you stuck, while average effort in the right place can move you forward faster. It doesn’t mean people back home are lazy, it just means the economic system there has limits. Sometimes relocating isn’t about working harder or smarter, but about plugging into a better environment.

Perhaps because various attempts have been made but none have been successful, he does not want to continue with other breakthroughs. Various types of businesses have been tried, but they are still hampered by their progress, such as a lack of interest, which causes sales to fall below target, thereby reducing the motivation to continue fighting. Perhaps the difficulty of finding work is so high that people end up trying their luck in other countries.

I refer to this as a phenomenon, and it has also been a hot topic in my country regarding many citizens going to other countries to work due to the different exchange rates.
Working smart is possible, but it requires consistency. Working smart is more synonymous with utilizing the internet.

In some developing and underdeveloped countries, finding work is quite difficult, so many people choose to seek their fortunes in developed countries for economic advancement, I see this as a positive thing because there's no progress without trying big things.

Working smart is often associated with utilizing the internet but there's a lot that can be categorized as smart work, In my opinion when we can utilize our time and gain significant benefits, that can be considered smart work, such as running a long-lasting business and generating substantial profits.

[gibrab16]

Good question. Location plays a much bigger role than many people want to admit. Hard work and smart work are important everywhere, but the return on that effort depends heavily on the environment you’re in.

In some locations, you can work extremely hard and still struggle because of low wages, weak demand, poor infrastructure, or limited opportunities. In those cases, it’s not that hard work isn’t enough—it’s that the system caps how far that effort can take you. Moving to a different location often means the same skills and effort suddenly have higher value.

Smart work also benefits from location. Access to better networks, markets, education, capital, and stable policies can multiply results. That’s why people migrate: not to escape work, but to place their effort where it’s rewarded more fairly.

So yes, sometimes hard work and smart work are enough—but sometimes changing location is the missing factor that allows them to actually pay off.

In many developing countries, salaries are very low, and that pushes a lot of people to move to places with more stable economies, where their work, knowledge, and effort are actually valued and better paid.

Those who move to another country simply because jobs in their own country are becoming scarce and less valued must also choose a country that is truly welcoming to foreigners, who are generally not native to that country. Because not all developed countries are as open to foreigners as their locals, this is also a factor that needs to be considered by those considering moving abroad in search of better-paying jobs. So, before rushing to move, consider the unknowns and other unexpected things that might happen in a foreign country.

Sometimes a person or a family likes to move location or residence because of work or the head of the family has to work in another location. This happens quite often in my neighborhood, there are new families who enter my neighborhood or those who leave because they have to move because of the work or work of the head of the family who is located far away. Of course, this happens because of work or the head of the family who is working hard for the comfort of his family. But with just one move, I think it is because of their economic changes, whether from bad to good or vice versa from good to bad.

People change environment for Greener pasture and for that reason no one cares the location where they find themselves. All what they need is to find the environment that will be conducive for them physical, economically, spiritual and otherwise. All this is the reason for change of location and or nationality.

Yeah sometimes hard work or Smart work is not enough to justify wether you will make success from such environment. For example if a seed is planted on a fertile land, it will germinate and bear forth fruit, but if that same seed is planted in a land that is not fertile, it will not do well. So is human beings. Being smart is not enough to make success in a wrong environment. You need where you will work smart and see the efficiency of your labour in good results.

Perhaps the economic structure in the previous location did not support economic growth or suitable job opportunities, the high cost of living in the previous location is also a consideration for changing location to achieve economic stability. Government policies that don't support economic growth or adequate job opportunities also contribute to the search for a new location that offers better opportunities and an improved quality of life. However, it's important to remember that hard work and smart work are still crucial for achieving economic success, and there's no guarantee that a change in location will automatically bring the desired success. In some cases, most people migrate because their hard work is undervalued, so there is no way to survive other than to look for a new location that offers better income opportunities.
