Work and Travel is what changed my mind on Jamaica's economy. Take loan fi guh overseas fi work, pay off that loan in no time and work enough money fi pay school fee and buy couple tings as well, in FOUR MONTHS.
Me a work 9-5 in jamaica now, that required a degree, and my pay is nothing close to my 4 month job in a theme park (that didnt require a degree).
I will say this and stand on it, if you go overseas and don't make it, your fault dat. AND you can make it a Jamaica (just affi work 5 times harder, or have links)
Love mi country, but mi country doe love me.
Big facts inna jamaica yuh affi can move mountains fi reach a certain level and know the right people
Come een like we live the same story bredda. Mi nuh mek ntn remotely close to wah mi mek pon work and travel. Degree nuh do one ting fi me
Keep in mind u came on a special program/legally. Some that run off have it very hard
I can second this …I see how much I make as a life guard and trust me I am depressed when I come back and I don’t even take in account my second job at McDonald
@@Romans116Unashamed If ur in the States now that the summer is almost over for lifeguards u might try security as some agencies r paying good now. Good luck, keep ur head up bro.
I made the decision to come to America after graduating Utech and was unemployed for 2 years. I was 24 at the time and didn’t even have a Jamaican dollar to my name. I found an opportunity and My family pool together and help me come up on a j1 visa and the rest history. I paid off my SLB in no time and has been blessed enough to help family and friends back home. It hasn’t been easy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This speaking the truth. The Jamaican government and elites forget that the country is struggle with classism. Jamaicans leave Jamaica for quality of life not "brain drain".
“America better for those who make it better!” can't stress it any better
Totally agree. My brother used to work for the Gleaner company in Jamaica. Doing well. Came to the US and is working more money yes, but due to the stress and situations he put himself in, can't see him money, drink out every cent. Opportunities is here yes, but it depends on the person.
totally agree
Exactly
It's all based on the individual and their path
How can someone make something better if it was already built up when they came ?? But when they look at they homeland it’s in shambles smh 🤦🏾
I live in Canada 🇨🇦.... even though violence is everywhere, no matter how huge of a crowd I am in here... I never feel a sense of fear... that's my biggest problem about living in Ja. ✌🏽
Agree with Canada, not so much for America. Was never like this before, now we avoid crowds.
Same! I live in a small town in Alberta and I’m never fearful of my life as it relates to be robbed. That’s the biggest reason I scared to move back to Jamaica.
Well I live in America 🇺🇸 and I’m scared of crowds here then Jamaica to be honest
Me soon come join yuh, my likkle son has a heath issue and a UWI PHARMACY me guh every week for 2years now to get the medicine. The medicine was low a month ago and dem ready fi push back the prescription gimme rather than give what they have. Mind you this my son cannot live without this medicine. Jamaica FUCK RIGHT UP.
No empathy for the sick. No mercy for no one in an unfortunate position.
Jamaica is not a safe place, two much corruption especially law enforcement
A lot of Jamaicans have this fantasy of America like it’s easier here. It’s not. Many come here and find that out the hard way. Rent, cost of food, and clothing in the states is so high due to inflation. Let not even get started on the gas prices. My grandma use to always say Grow come see when I asked her questions. But in y’all case come co see. just like in Jamaica your not making a lot of money unless you have a really good job. Everything else is pay check to pay check still. Lastly violence is everywhere. Jamaican think because tourist come to Jamaica and spend money they have money, half those tourist put that trip on a credit card Nd go back to the state’s Nd live in a shoebox. Yes Jamaica’s government is highly corrupt but so is the government in the states. All in all everyone who took the time to read this, before you make a decision, make sure you fully understand what you are getting into.
All facts here
This is why Jamaica is failing. Childish expectations of countries they haven’t been to. Enjoy Brooklyn and the Bronx lmao
It all depends where you live. Move to Virginia (Southeastern) get a job at the shipyard. Gain a skill ($30 a hour ) and have an 1,000 USD apartment OUTSIDE the city. You can and will be good in the 🇺🇲. Get out of the big cities
Amen 💯💎🔥
Lack of Opportunities, no good pay, can’t afford housing and etc.
Rough!
But mi caan afford housing in United state either
Less than 1% a the Jamaican overseas own a home ... for those who go close to owning a home , a government place them there... u can’t bring any family there with u to visit
@@houseofwhyte not true a lot is own the house where you get that number 😂your number less than 1%
@@blachartradio763 no man ... call 10 Jamaican weh migrate and ask them ... if them own a home
I am from the Virgin Islands and I have my kids here in Florida and everyday I teach them my Caribbean values because some people lazy and them is not going to be lazy. I am working on my masters right now and there dad is Jamaican and when We talk about our childhood nothing better than growing up in the islands. Im not saying American ppl lazy but some of the things they do I dont rock wid and my kids them gone know their culture.
every politician guh foreign guh look health-care, which means not even dem believe inna the country resources
More time it's for the privacy even countries with good health care politicians do that....
Real bloodclaate talk💯💯💯💯💯 living a Jamaica me couldn't even dream of driving a car... I drive a nice car, live in a nice house and able to help my family back home! Not rich but the possibility is very attainable here in America
Wow I'm from America and the finish line keeps getting further away. So great for you!!
@@naturalbae get a friend who’s from outside America. Be willing change the way you have been doing things and set your goal post. You will see the change you want. It won’t be easy but it can be done.
@@freedom3390 watch my videos...like he said, different struggles. I'm fortunate to work from anywhere, my choice is Jamaica. The cost of living is not worth it FOR ME in the States
I understand the car but you can get a really really nice house in Jamaica easier than in American.
@@naturalbae you in jamaica?
A lot of people in Jamaica are living much better than a lot of us here in the US
True.
Try do a live and have Jamaicans living all over call in and tell their stories of their migration... sure there's some inspiring stories out there...
This Would Be Great
wld be amazing
Love this idea
you’re right & i have some too
Not Jamaican, but I’m from the Caribbean and this is 💯 I know way too many of us whose parents come to this country with all the dreams of success and prosperity but end up dying in poverty. Not because they’re not hardworking - we can and do work to the bone in this country - but because you’re always owing someone in this country. It isn’t easy at all, so thank you for sharing this perspective 🙏🏽
Real talk I’m living in America since 2017 and I’m struggling no jokes but compared to living in Jamaica I’m in a better place because I can provide for my family
Keep going , don’t give up
Real talk. I have a bachelor's and a master's with 12 years of health experience and am drowning in debt from my home and my education. This is the first time in my life that I am ready to leave Jamaica Better out there and mi wan some, this can not be it.
Another Canadian-Jamaican here. I live in a big city in my own home in a very top-tier part of Toronto, drive a luxury car and I have always felt safe. Recently the wave of car-jacking has me on edge so I use Uber a lot BUT it's still pretty safe. I would live in Jamaica before I live in America though. The gun violence in America is shocking. No where is safe there. Mass shootings in schools, churches, malls, public places..everywhere!!! There has been 314 MASS SHOOTINGS in the USA thus far this year!!!
Yes, Jamaica has its issues but it's still safer than USA. I have family in high levels of law inforcement in Jamaica. Canada and the USA and they, AND STATICS, AND FACTS, will concur.
The negative narrative about Jamaica is purposeful by the American controlled media. Jamaica is what Jamaica is by design. It's still a plantation.
The difficulty to get even a bank account in Jamaica is ridiculous. I recently just tried opening a bank Account in Jamaica so I could cut the western union life out and they asked me for my American social security number, I said ma'am what does my American social have to do with a Jamaican bank account, I have a TRN number, I have a business account, I just want a savings account. It was a whole issue, ultimately I said it's okay, I can open another savings account in America with just my drivers license or go to Miami and deal with the Jamaican bank there with no issues, I don't trust the system here enough to give my Social from America which have no benefit to me here.
Trust me‼️‼️‼️‼️it’s crazy‼️‼️‼️
So true….
The banks will not do anything with the Social security number. If they only ask for your Social security number that is very easy for you to open an account unlike Jamaica who live here. A Jamaican who lives here we'll need two reference (from a JP, Pastor, School, or someone who has an account there who isn't your relative 😑), TRN, national ID/ passport and fill out a long piece of paper that they give you with more information.
@@fundash5124 They needed all of that plus my social security number. The red flag was the social security number, my American social cannot do nothing for me in Jamaica, and in America your social is your lifeline. The amount of banks that scam people in Jamaica due to corrupt workers does not sit well with me. Reason I said my TRN, references, drivers license, business account, passport etc should have been enough for them. Especially since they cannot run my credit from my social in Jamaica lol because it cannot be used there. So what's the point of asking for it, also asking for the same things as residents?
I had the same issue trying to open an account in Jamaica. They wanted my tax returns lmao
Hi Dale,
You need to tell these males how to treat people who try their best to help them. I always hear you men talk about how the “ women “ be treating them.
No a lot of Jamaican men are very disrespectful. A lot of women “ genuinely “ help them and want to make life. They come here don’t want to learn a better trade. They come here want to live on the women. When they get called on it, they want to beat up on her.
You need to touch on that. That’s a big issue. That is why a lot of women are turning their backs on marrying Jamaican men.
Facts!
Am pretty sure there are more housewives than husbands come with ur facts lady
You old woman take up some young boy and when you can’t program then you come wid all kind of story😂
Tell the truth.
This is the truth!
I like how you discussed different perspectives. You have to pick your struggle. You have to know yourself. What works for another will not work for you. Some will remain in Jamaica and still do very well, others will not. The same applies to when they migrate.
Loyalty to one's country has limits. Jamaicans love their country and would be happy to build it up but the selfish few at the top, make living in Jamaica an unpleasant experience. Were me made to just suffer and suffer and suffer? Especially in a country as rich as Jamaica?!
You’ll love the perspectives of thr video that premieres later
I can feel the passion in this reply…well said!
@@DaleElliottTV This was such an amazing video. As someone who also left Jamaica as a young adult, you made such valid points. Especially when touching on the politicians who are overseas and at the end of the day still don’t understand certain things. Overall I agree with everything you said and at the end of the day, if a person is willing to work hard when they migrate, they will be okay.
Wow, well said 👏👏👏
brother im a Trinidadian and we have the exact issue with Brain drain. I tell people if you can have opportunity outside of the islands best you go toward it and not die a suffering patriot. You speaking truth here man. Much love from TT.
I had to run from my teaching job in Jamaica, taught there for nine years. The opportunities here are endless and I accomplished a lot in little time. However, I miss home EVERYDAY. There’s another side to living in North America, cultural differences, weather (depending on where you are), etc.
So you buy a house already? Since u left Jamaica? Could you see yourself buying a home in America base on your salary?
@@trudykroll7429 Yes, I have already bought my house. I'm actually residing in Canada, not America. If you want a timeline so far of my journey since I migrated, here goes. I arrived in Canada in 2016 for my studies. I was hired shortly after graduating in 2017, and I bought my house in 2019. FYI, I was trying to get an NHT house for many years in Jamaica and couldn't get one despite being in a senior teacher 3 position.
@@squadypetez you were trying to get a nht house when you should have been trying to get a house on the open market using nht benefits as a senior teacher. You have gone about it the wrong way. I have friends who bought there homes in Jamaica at 24 and 28 and 29 using only nht on the open markets. So you waiting on nht scheme houses was a waste of your time and the country should not be blame for this when you had many houses on the open market you could access.
@@trudykroll7429 I did explore the open market. However, what you need to understand is that not many teachers can afford open market houses that are in decent condition. I’m speaking for myself here. I was single with my primary source of income being my teacher’s salary and I couldn’t afford the houses in decent shape. Those properties I could afford loads of politics was involved, which precluded me from getting them. There are many versions of life in Jamaica. Unfortunately, I was not as fortunate as the aforementioned people that you know. And, in case you’re wondering, yes, I was able to acquire my property here after working one regular (9 to 5) job, no overtime.
I would really listen to you talk for hrs and hours. This needs to be a series.
Dale you explain is so perfectly! These are the things Jamaicans back home need to know! It’s not as easy as you think but we’re trying our best to make our life better for ourselves first!
So come back home then 🤷🏾♂️ why your still there ??? 🤔
@@mykesentertainment7101 That was thoroughly explained throughout the video.
@@jayrome8764 EXACTLY the point 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
@@jayrome8764 not thoroughly my bro ,some points were given... but the main is tht america farrrrrrrrrrr better,,, ppl enjoy being in a better position than others... if u want better in Jamaica yu affi work work work... any Jamaican capable of going uwi... dont know how REAL BRUK one can be in the ghetto
@@roshkapel Farrrrrrr better in terms of opportunities, resources, market size and networking. People value those things so they aren't going to come back to Jamaica and lose access to them. That is the main point of the video. It is hard everywhere, but even harder when there a very few opportunities to make something of yourself and live a dignified life.
I love your reasoning. Everything you are saying is reality. In America if you're will to put in the hard you will see the reward. People in Jamaica work hard and can barely make ends meet.
True. I have so many skills. But in Jamaica it's not what you know it's who you know. The best job I've ever had was because my uncle got me in. As soon as my uncle's friend left the company I was replaced by the cousin of the new manager. That's how it is out here. I used to say I would never leave my country but now I have no intention of staying in Jamaica. Because I want better for my family.
Government love when young educated ppl leave Jamaica so that the others that not so smart can continue vote for them,,, both parties btw.
I migrated from Jamaica years now I'm not rich but I'm living far better than I was in Jamaica..
I’m a teacher who left 🇯🇲 four years ago, I’m not going back to work. It’s too depressing to work and can’t see my way out.
Everything he is saying is FACTS 💯💯💯💯
This is from a Jamaican living in Canada for many years. let me tell you from my perspective real quick and from pure observation . I always tell people if you have a good job in Jamaica dont leave because the career that you are in , let's say for example Doctor,. Lawyer Teacher ect if you come here you have to start from scratch no matter how many years education & experince you have Canada wants you to go back to school and the fees are not cheap either.So you end taking a job that pays next to nothing because Canada says you don't have the " Canadian Work Experience "
.
2- You see Taxi drivers here in Toronto Canada if you hold conversation with them they will tell you that Canada was very misleading .They advertised in these people country how jobs are here in Canada,but when you get here..you start from scratch • That's is not even worth starting over paying school fees for what you were an expert in your field back home. It just dont make no sense.
3- Times have change working under the table you have to know someone that has a link thru the Indian agency's to get you on.
4- Most Jamaicans that come here for donkey add years eventually go back to Jamaica to live once they reach a certain age.
5- Africa is more open and welcoming to Jamaicans . Your passport can get you far there. All land to buy in 1600us in Kenya that you can build on.
Africa is not this poor country that the TV has conditioned you to believe.
6- Their is also better countries out there than Canada/ US.
7- Nuff people have student loan in Toronto after College and University the careers they went to get a job in that field.. don't exist again.
8-Canada is not a better Rose. Because most while people are Not Living ..their only Existing and that's not away to be living.
Theres plenty of remote jobs now that exist due to the Plandemic most people are country hoping while working remotely..
Many Canadians have left gone Bali Indonesia and is working remotely making good money.
But To each their own still!
This is not true. ...you don't have to start from scratch. There is a formula. It goes like this. You can have a first degree from anywhere in the world when you move to Canada, but what makes you hit the ground running, i.e not starting from scratch is having professional certifications. These professional certs are make you employable along with a first degree or masters etc. NB. The professional certs must be internationally recognized. Some professional certs are: CISCO, SECURITY PLUS, NETWORK PLUS, A+ etc just a few IT certs. Others from business areas are: PMP, AGILE, SCRUM MASTER , ACCA etc..TECHNICAL AREAS: ELECTRICAL: get the electrical license for the country you located...etc
@@PAROAKE78 nor in the USA lol if you are a doctor, lawyer, nurse...all u really have to do is take the official accredited exam over there and once u pass u can begin working.. so no you're not starting from scratch u just need to study ya notes again and take one exam.
Big up boss truth 🙌
@@nyasha7721 It's the same in Canada it's called the reciprocity exam.
@@PAROAKE78 You're right! Unfortunately, these are myths spread by ignorance.
Di life weh mi a live right now. Woulda 1000x harder fi achieve in Jamaica. Preach dawg
Everything you said is very similar to life in Trinidad. My life was a struggle there because opportunities was very limited. I migrated to the U.K, got a job in tech and now I live the life I always dreamt about.
@DaleElliott there is no way I could watch this podcast and not leave a comment. Braindrain is the emigration of well trained an educated people leaving one country for another first an foremost, u are an educated person I watched ur movie u have raw talent and I want to see u on the big stages. I spend over 2 decades working in the tourism an hospitality industry I have a degree as well but I had to make the transition from Jamaica to America. It's simple the economy and the level of corruption to killing me mentally and physically, nowhere u go in this world is easy it's just ur determination and ambition mixed with willpower that will make the difference. I have added a link in the chain of debt and I have moved alittle molehill in just 2yrs since I got here and looking forward to blessed with the 10. My advice is for those who are left behind "find a way! Run! Swin! Borrow a few feathers from a johncrow and leave Jamaica" but when u do make sure u are prepared for work, it feels good when I get off work an roll back mi sunroof, I want the same for everybody. Jamaicans need fi wake up an form fool an "leggo de bird wid Andrew" because ah him alone jamaican economy ah benefit. Peace an blessings bredda
Bro mek me tell you dis fam me always tell ppl I rather stay in America and work minimum wage than being in Jamaica and I ain’t taking that back Jamaica isn’t design for the poorer class to make it so what them expect
Dat is it it’s not easy but it’s better simple as that
It just boils down to the fact that we as people need to find multiple streams of income...to solve the money problem
Watching this for a second time! Mi nah lie this one was high level thinking!!! People need to understand, life is what you make it.
Thanks for shedding light on issues we NEED people to know
Exactly it's so expensive to travel from the UK to Jamaica I can get 4 holidays to Europe for that money! Its absolutely hard
Very well said in this podcast. This is great information for everything. You’re talking the real right now 💯
What woke me up bro I even cry tears when I see the transport authority of Jamaica 🇯🇲 having a 14-day inspection taking away motor vehicles 🚖 and we have to drive on the bad road everyday and we can't do anything about it.
I’m glad I subscribed. Straight facts 🇯🇲🙌🏽
I respect you so much. You are honest and talk about the good/bad about foreign. Sad that Jamaican are losing their culture. You can make money in America but it can be hard and stressful
It's not easy in America I'm sure of that....but what America has that Jamaica doesnt is opportunities and better pay in relation to the type of jobs. In this situation the grass is greener on the other side....but you cant be a bum in America and expect to do better than when living in Jamaica. Some ppl dont get that part and cabt adjust when they reach America.
Your Honesty is unmatched great insight teaching big up urself
Great reasoning every word you speak is 100% on point
Respect bro bro! Pure unbiased opinion, or facts. Keep uplifting the utes tru your reasoning and comedy. 🙌🏾💪🏾
Speaking a college student currently in USA 🇺🇸”working” to send myself to college!!! This is thee realest example of how life is and how a lot of ppl think of foreign. But it’s a lot easier than Jamaica. Although it hard nuh rass. Working 2 jobs with 3 hrs of sleep. Just fi go back a half fi pay tuition and get a degree. And as mi get that degree best believe me a lift up. So yes I will contribute to brain drain…. @dale big up h damn self. Continue talking the facts!!!!
Brother true words. I had to drop out of college back in Jamaica 2017 and decided I’m leaving. Now I’m here working for the federal government and going to school full time. Might I add school cost me nothing out of pocked. In 4 years I was able to buy a house and 2 cars. I could never dream of doing this in JA and at the time I had what was considered a good job but as soon as my daughter came into the picture I had to make a move for the better.
is there an age limit for work and travel?
What do you study
@@tyrikefrancis5513 aim is computer science or IT but because of bad luck with family issues and covid I had to put off college till now, I just turned 24
@@delano6572 ho, good luck with your future
So true in your face honesty, much appreciated
Real talk !!! Stay focused & keep being YOU 🇯🇲💯🤜🏾🤛🏾
Jah know dawg. You’re speaking for a lot of us. Nuff respect
Also the fact that the government isn’t protecting or encouraging the people ready to come back and either retire or start up businesses to help out those back home.
You give up before you finish paying the fees and running from one place to the other to then get sent back to the first place to get sent back home to get more forms.
You speak so very well thank you very much for explaining everything about what’s going on in Jamaica thank you
Talk truth bro. Love the transparency regarding this topic. He who feels it knows it!
First time watching you @ *Dale* on this platform and you hit the points on spot for me. I agree with you I have lived both sides of the coin 💵
Well done….your point was well thought out and I appreciate your delivery
Love the reasoning fam, 100 percent right bro.
I’ve always want to have these conversations about the Caribbean glad to see this g
This video needs to be shown over and over again. Real real talk 💯 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
I wrote paper on this topic and the issue surrounding it for my Master Program...got a A! 😀. However I also left Jamaica shortly after. Had a great job with the government, I was living ok but living and taking care of family is very financially challenging so that's why I decided to leave. So much more can be done with less. My research indicated that people from various professions were leaving at a rapid rate, Teacher (especially Math and English), Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists, IT Programmers and Engineers had large numbers.Remittance alone cannot save Jamaica's economy or contributions from the Diaspora. Provide people meaning opportunities and they will make a way.
Your commentary is spot on. Continue to speak on this topic’s it’s a conversation that is needed. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you for sharing this, it was informative. Respect!
Great insight Dale. I tell others it’s not all peaches and cream but always say I wouldn’t discourage anyone bcus my situation might not be ur situation. Preach Dale!!!🔥🔥🔥
This man is speaking the absolute objective truth.
Wow I give thanks for your insight .. and realizing how things truly are in Jamaica ., I do believe it is on a new path but at moment it is still dangerous and challenging., so I give thanks for your insight🙏🏽
I’m glad someone finally talked about this especially with your platform 🫶🏾
Much respect Dale! I am a man who grew up in UPPER uptown and is now living in Miami, i thin it would be a VERY good thing to have a live interview with an ACTUAL uptown person who is willing to discuss ALL the differences and nuances of the life in Jamaica, link me!!!
THIS!
Yes Dale I love these talks. You are 100 percent correct! America or anywhere outside Jamaica is what you personally make it, if you want better it is possible.
This was a good reasoning very seldom do I listen one of these all the way through because majority don’t make any sense but this was on point and very informative
Content like this is needed to stimulate the mind of the younger generation. You never tell a lie, keep it up G.💯
People in Jamaica need to realize your family in America that left is not rich. It’s not easy in America either maybe a little better and more opportunities but it’s expensive to live here pay bills and send every month to family
This video now at 40,000 views in a week big up dale keep spreading the humor and positive message out there 🌍
Me start watching an all this man a chat is noting but facts me couldn't stop watch it keep up the good work my gunnerz bro
This is a very timely reasoning. I hope the younger ones listening take note. Bless up fi dis Dale. 1 more Sub.
I just love listening to dale.

Thank you soo much for saying this 2:12
Because personally I have been conflicted with leaving my country, but at the same time I also believe in my country as well.
There was this thing you said, "living a life that allows you to live" me and my follow co workers been debating this for weeks, the fact that u have to choose between paying a bill and buying food is really something.
I respect this video a lot. A lot of people don’t understand the points you’re making. Very authentic mi bredda!
Brutal honesty... Thanks for the content!
I recently came across your website and I like your reasoning about its factual..... big up yourself and keep up the good work
Respect Dale always love you away from your comedic side as they would say in Jamaica YA REAL G!
Real talk brother big up your self all the time
Dale; you hosted a very thoughtful and thought-provoking conversation, and as a yard-man living abroad, I'd be more than pleased to join you on a panel for Part Three/Four of this topic.
I listened carefully and must say you have a good analysis. Keep it real my brother. Love and respect and best wishes in all you do.
When the PM of jamaica is gonna come out and say stuff like" don't worry about the small pay,,just make sure you are putting out your very best", I can easily see why people continue to seek places where they will be rewarded for their efforts
Did he actually said that? That's cold. Smh
I doubt he said it like that and if he did it was taken out of contect.He did say though that the government cant stop teachers from going abroad but we can find a way to benefit from the countries hiring teachers.
@@marmackk this was said before the teacher situation....and no,,it wasn't taken out of context....do you think he has your well being at heart? Wake up
@@marmackk it wasn't out of context, it's just about the same. 10 month later and he's tripled salaries for him and his pals while the rest of us still a get knock.
I really appreciate your narrative , if I had herd advice like this when I was younger I would have left Jamaica long time ago , I worked as an electrician in Jamaica for 14 yrs and was barely making ends meet , to get a driver's license , start a business , or do anything of substance you have to pay way more than the correct price . The only people striving in Jamaica are politicians , criminals, artists, corporate and friends and family members of those people !
Jamaican customs and import fees make it hard for the country to innovate and progress when good can't come through our border without being TAXED more than triple.

Yeah me G put in the work. You have a platform and a generation you can move forward. Blessed
A lot of truths in your video. All Jamaicans, especially ones living in Jamaica need to listen to this.
I loved the way how dale covered both the pro’s and con’s of living abroad. I was fortunate enough to just do my education at Jamaica and move back to England to make a future for myself. But the grass won’t be greener on the other side of you DON’T have a plan. The west is extremely competitive and I know people who have a master’s degree in England but have to settle with less due to the competition of the rat race. As long as you have a plan, you’ll make it far in life.
True
I took way too long to start watching after I subscribed. I loved this.👌
I love this. Very helpful and honest opinions on a lot of things
Love the discussion. I agree with some of the points you raised. The brain drain is so real but it actually benefits the government and politicians because the young minds that would be brilliant enough to implement and sustain positive change are leaving so they have no real competition. Which is the saddest part.
Crime is everywhere and struggle is everywhere and as a Jamaican still living in Jamaica I can appreciate that it will seem worst here and perhaps it is in a sense but it's just a matter of what type of crime. It's the usa with random mass shootings that you could get caught up in vs. The individual and targetted shootings here. At the end of the day America, Canada, UK, Europe etc. Has many more opportunities available so presumably as long as you're clear on your vision and willing to work hard, you can do much more with less and in Shorter period of time.
In traveling, I have never wanted to do more than visit overseas for like a month or less. I won't say I will never leave but at the moment I hope not to have to. I do not fault persons who leave for a better life. Everyone has to plan for themselves and do what works for them. I am hard working and I may not be strugggling to eat or make ends meet but with the mind and aptitude I have along with academic qualifications and expertise I know for a fact I would be miles and miles ahead of where I am now had I left. It's just about what you're willing to lose or keep and each person has to do what's right for them.
Question though....I understand planning to budget what you will send to your mother, grandmother etc. But why would your "bredren" be in that equation? Unless he's newly down on his luck, he needs to sort out his own life 😀.
