I think you have to reflect on why you think uneducated means inferior because that's honestly messed up. However it is true that uneducated people, especially poor people and those who don't speak english are more vulnerable in a situation like that, you can't ignore the truth just because you don't like the sound of it.

?????????? I never said I think it’s inferior. I said the way YOU put it had implications of inferiority.

Don’t know why you keep coming @ me ON ANON with things that I’ve already given my opinion on. If you really want to discuss this then quit hiding behind anon and have an actual constructive conversation.

You reblog posts about racism and slavery in the middle east, people getting tricked into signing contracts for inhumane work conditions and then you're gonna dismiss people as ignorant for getting worried? I meant people with a simple bachelor's degree struggling to find a good job in Nepal going any rich ME country for work. Ofc UN workers aren't gonna face discrimination. If you don't know it's fine but I thought since you've reblogged about it that it was something that interested you

Not calling you ignorant for being worried. But for generalizing an entire massive region. Things are different depending on what part of the middle East you go to. Also, most of all, I did not agree with the word “uneducated” being used in that context because there was an implication of inferiority (don’t know if it was supposed to be intentional). Anyways, you always have to be careful with contracts and I’d always make sure I had a lawyer to go through it before taking on something like that. People with “a simple bachelor’s” degrees are also being tricked in some places: IE they’re being promised office jobs and find themselves in some random construction site mixing concrete. Read the contract thoroughly, get a lawyer if you can (this is pretty common practice here but I don’t know about Nepal), and don’t handover your passport to your employer. Have an escape route/plan B in place.

Hi, do you think it's safe for educated Nepalis to go and work in the Middle East? My friend is considering going and I got really nervous but he said it's only dangerous for uneducated Nepalis doing physical labour there. Do you know anyone who lived in the Middle East, what are your thoughts on this? I'm already nervous of him living under sharia law at all tbh even without the whole discrimination thing but I might be overreacting?? I mean if he's gonna earn more money then it's a good thing?

I don’t know if you were meaning to sound a bit ignorant but it does come off that way.

I don’t have enough knowledge on this, and plus you don’t specify where in the middle East; that’s a pretty big area to cover + not every single middle Eastern country works the same way/has the same laws or way of life (surprise, surprise). I know people who’ve gone to Afghanistan working for UN as engineers. They’re surrounded by armed guards all the time but the pay was great and they only did it for a few years. Or people who worked in Dubai as business people/ in Israel as part of some military training/mission type deal…they seem to be doing okay & I didn’t talk to them about their experiences in-depth, so I don’t know.
