cynbob- I mos def agree with you when it comes to "growing." This is a problem that you find in a lot of the younger locals here, and it is quite sad. For example, Qatar has a "Qatarization" committee which wants to have 50% of Qataris working in companies here in Doha. A lot of people think that this "growth" happens once you join a company or a position. That is not true, because that does not change your human characteristics which you are raised with. Hense the fact that the local who has been given this position ends up sitting around, while everyone else does all the work.
