Education....the luxury of the rich!

I don't know about you guys, but my company pays peanuts where the education allowance is concerned. Now with this...... Gulfnews: UAE schools allowed to hike fees by 30%
Outrageous.

Here another good (BAD) indication of things to come:
Gulfnews: Frustrated by rising cost of living in the UAE

Then you have a guru explaining the Advantages Of The Cost Of Living (): Gulfnews: Advantages of the cost of living

It's difficult to stay . It's "burning" here.
It's the weather and the cost of living.

One day the scale will tip and people will leave in higher numbers. If you are european it hurts like hell right now with a weak dollar. The american dont care, so they will and are coming. I predict an EK with americans and third world pilots (no disrespect) in the future. I am making the same as 7 years ago when I compare. I have to compare because I still own a house back home, which is unsellable at this time.
I'll see how long we will be willing to put up with it.

As you can see from driving around e.g. Dubai, being rich is not synonymous with being educated.
