I was chatting with a neighbor today. She and her husband were living in the UK. He's a high-skilled mechanical engineer working in design and R & D. They were living in the UK where the company had the main manufacturing plant.
It was moved to Czech and they came with it. Then the manufacturing plant was moved China. Now she hears design and R & D are going to be done in China and they're not looking for many Europeans to move there.
He's looking for a job. This is a man with a skill that 10 years ago gave him the freedom to move anywhere in the world. They're not worried he can still get a job anywhere. But their children won't be so fortunate if we keep on this route.
