"If I was an educated Qatari, I could see why I might like Qatarization. It offers me the pick of plum jobs within Qatar, and every firm would be eager to snap up a Qatari with a brain."
Well educated Qataris already do get by quite nicely in the workplace. They do already get their choice of plum jobs because companies are eager to snap them up. Not because they are compelled to, but because it makes good economic and social sense.
If I were an educated Qatari, I would be angry that my academic achievements would have been unnecessary. I could just as easily have slacked off at uni and gone to the movies and parties with friends and still have been offered the same job and same salary.
