With respect,

If you wrote or spoke like that for a job enquiry - you wouldnt make it to the interview stage, regardless of your academia.

As i said, i dont agree with his tone. But just wanted to mention he is correct in saying foreign influence built this area.

Regarding jobs, well... in UK, where i got my first ever job, it (the jobs itself) was open to all including foreign students on temp visas.

im surprised about the 20000 unemployed grads, as whenever i see a job post in Abu Dhabi for example, it always seems to end with "Must be an Arab".

Just an innocent question....were u screwed badly when u were a child? or was the screwing when u were much older? lol

Grow up dude....nothing is free these days.....Our country did benefit alot from expats, and no one can deny it, but you got paid for it, and dont deny that OUR cash that brought EXPATS here....its business. You didnt do it for free, and we didn't beg for it, we just waved the dollars ;-)

With regards to college education........don't give me this bull of civilized graduation crap......I have seen many so called "Expats Engineering Consultants" who don't know the ABC of engineering, and whats worse, they actually suck whatever information from the companies, and they compile it in a nice way and hand it over back to us......now what kind of screwed up engineering study is that!! lol

I highly doubt an expat brought from outside the UAE who is already at the title "consultant" with his/her many years experience, and educated at a high quality university abroad, would know nothing about engineering. From my experience, engineering is one field where the education quality is high from institution to institution in the West, for example.

Not really, I am a graduate from the West, and I know what I am talking about, and trust me, not every institution has a high quality of education in Engineering. I once attended a seminar by a Canadian Engineering Consultant, and he surprisingly admitted that there are lots of crooks who call themselves experts in their fields, while they are not, but just cuz of their skin color and their passport, they can pretend to be what they want over here.

And the companies hiring them don't check their credentials and their work history? That seems a bit foolish.

I'm in higher education (though not engineering) and have heard only good things about the quality of engineering programs in the countries I've lived in. Now weak business programs etc. are another issue... :D

Since when do companies here or anywhere look into the credentials of consultants who already work for one of these big engineering consultant companies in europe. Companies here just sign the contract and the rest is left for the consultant companies to choose one of its "consultant employees" to manage the project.

With regards to the Business programs abroad, i find myslef compelled to agree with u :lol:

It would appear to be that companies here need ot be more rigorous during their selection process if what you said above is true.

Dude, if the west was so bad at engineering for example, why are they the leaders in the market?
