I have no idea why this is because I have met some very well educated (and especially well travelled people) from all over. <br /><br />For example, a German expat who was schooled in Portugal speaks about 5 languages and is currently at university in the Algarve. After that my guess is she'll work in another country because she certainly has the skills to do so. <br /><br />Education is, as you say, only part of the equation. But also, I don't think it is as bad as people think abroad and education by the parents is just as important.Sarah - Move Me Abroadhttp://www.movemeabroad.comnoreply@blogger.com
