Stocks Investment Know-How For The Entrepreneurially-Challenged

There are various options on how you can earn money outside your monthly salary as an employee. There are people who want to secure their future, particularly ensuring that their children will be able to have a good education and to have a little more to use as capital for a business.

Our OFW’s are the common target of some businesses today because they know that the money they send to their families are much higher than what they would earn if they would have worked in the Philippines. It is truly a sad fact on how some Filipinos opted to serve other people from other countries instead of providing their service to their motherland. But what can they do if there is not enough job for them or the mismatched skills have also become one of the causes? An OFW, whose thoughts are focused in providing a better future for their famil...
