Sometimes, insecurity, unemployment and lack of opportunities force people to seek a better life in foreign countries, such as the United States or Canada.
As did Walter Enciso, of Mexican origin, who stated that he earns more money picking cherries in Canada than an engineer or graduate in Mexico. His statement went viral and is already motivating others to do the same.
According to the clip shared by Enciso through TikTok, his work as a cherry picker in plantations in Canada gives him more earnings than a professional in Aztec lands.
My advice: come to Canada, work here, I’m in the cherry picking. Basically it is collecting these little things (cherries), filling boxes of 20 or 25 pounds (9 to 11 kilos) and with that you are taking between 2,500 and 3,000 pesos a day, a person like me with no experience.
They don’t ask you for any age, you come, you work for a while, three or four months, you make the money to live in Mexico very well for a whole year and you forget about those terrible salaries and that terrible death trap that is, sadly, Latin America.
The clip immediately went viral, but far from what was expected, it ended up dividing social networks in two: those who would like to work in the same way as Enciso and those who believe that the young man exaggerated and made comments out of place by saying that Latin America is a death trap.
The comments against him were so serious that Enciso had to delete his video and reset his account to private. However, this does not stop him from achieving his dreams and moving forward.
