Yes, but there is a tremendous cycle in effect. The population has doubled in the last four years, the Qataris don't have the human resources capacit-or inclination- to staff all the needed schools themselves, so they rely on ex-pat educators, but the packages, inflation and lack of infrastructure make recruiting difficult, and the circle just goes on. Welcome to life in Qatar.

It is my perception though that a bit of a breaking point has been reached. It seems that many who have the flexibility to leave have decided that they've had enough and are pulling out. Anyone have the same impression?
