Bailing out

Headline: 'Brain drain' continues for National

Of course anyone with nous and skills will go. My nephews and nieces have all gone as have my two eldest.

My oldest is actually back for a visit as I write. She graduated last year applied for four jobs and got four job offers being as she had consistently very high grades (excuse a fathers pride in the achievements of his own) including exactly what she sought on the other side of the Tasman.

In any case one night last week the news was on and there was an item about the firemans pay dispute which quoted their hourly rate. She was gobsmacked to put it mildly how low that was.

She wont be coming back apart from the occasional holiday.

Why would she?
