You graduate from University, employment prospects are OK. But you see the CPP, the money after graduating and completing your sim training is double what your peers from University are earning, and the biggest bonus is you have over $1,000,000 invested in you by your employer!!! You say screw the housing, child education, where do I sign.

After 8 years your university peers are still playing catchup, but you no longer look at them as your equivalent, you look at the expatriates now. They earn housing, they get child education, why can't I?

Well there is a thing called a contract, unfortunately it doesn't allow for this. You get angry and call the press, they are discriminating against us!!!!!! Your employer digs their heels in, status quo is maintained.

What next? Well maybe like every other expatriate who didn't like their last contract, they packed up and went in search of the golden goose. Some found it in the middle east, others found it in the far east. To all the locals who don't like their contract, go look for a golden goose!!!!
