The Philippines produces lot of college graduates, skilled professionals. 
In reality, however, the job market cannot keep up. 
College graduates have become one of the largest blocks among the unemployed and undermployed. 
It's a textbook case of what economists call credential inflation. 
More and more people get degrees, but that degree don't guarantee anything. 
They're the minimum requirement just to compete for jobs that often don't pay enough to live on. 
Consider a registered nurse or medical technologist working in a private hospital. 
They're gone through four years of university, clinical rotations, board exams, and often additional certifications. 
Yet, starting salaries in private hospitals commonly land in the 15,000 to 20,000 peso range, around $350 a month, sometimes less. 
outside Metro Manila. 
Now, compare that to the global gig market. 
A Filipino virtual assistant charging a modest $5 an hour can in theory make around $800 a month working full-time for foreign clients, even accounting for dry spells, platform fees, and non-billable time. 
That's more than double, sometimes triple what many licensed professionals earn locally. 
In that environment, global gig platforms start to look less like an alternative and more like the only path that makes sense for survival.
