#2 ''Doctor'' Taufeeq. Anybody know his background? Is this one of the western-educated guys who figured he couldn't compete? Or one of the guys with an 8th grade education?

#4 anon: Or one of the guys with an 8th grade education?

When guys with 8th grade educations go to developed countries, they think they've died and gone to heaven. Where they used to get paid nothing for doing menial work, they now get paid enough to afford a nice car and an apartment of their own - things that were unthinkable back home. Where blue-collar workers got treated like dirt back in the old country, Western businesses (and their customers) tend to treat menial labor with some amount of respect.

It's the educated ones (from better-off families) who suffer culture shock - where their families employed a retinue of domestic help (at dirt-cheap rates) back in the old country, they now have to fend for themselves. Where they were esteemed as educated people from good family backgrounds, their connections and qualifications are worthless in the West.
