The one from China was a teacher. The one from New Zealand was working as an engineer in the telecom industry. He went to China to become a English teacher and taught me Oral English. Still this was quite long ago. So these two examples may not count. Yet another one got a PhD in Power Electronics but still could not find a good job in NZ. This was within 5 years. I have nothing against NZ but the story is real. I did not know of any friends go to NZ. But those who go to Australia and Canada are all enjoying life there, especially the ladies and the children. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
