My comments maybe frowned on by some but here goes. Quite a few years ago I watched a program about the National Health Service in the UK, and it was about doctors and nurses in great abundance who came from Africa.
The main question asked of which there were many, why when Africa is struggling are you in the UK when your education and qualifications would be of more benefit in your countries of birth? This proved a little hard to answer as it was obvious that these people were chasing the monetary aspect, and had little desire to better their homeland and assist in its progress. So, NT84, it could be said you and your friends could be put in the same box as those who abandoned the troubles of their homeland, for carefree lifestyle and left them to get on with it and all its woes.
