Add explanation on switching to new job #64

Describe the feature

All of the occupations in the job select page show the same amounts in terms of hours worked and salary earned. However, some migrants previously worked in jobs that can be selected now that they are in Ecuador. For example, Luis previously worked in the construction sector, but still earns the same amount of money if he selects construction worker as any other migrant profile. If it is not the case that a previous role has an effect in their new job, it may be important to mention that migrants cannot easily transfer their skills to a new job because of the barriers migrants have to go through.

Suggestion: Add the wording "Despite some migrants having experience with formal jobs back home, most migrants have to transition to the informal sector"
