That's not true at all. There are a lot of expats that grew up here that choose to get jobs here because they love the life! We're not all on huge salaries that means we can save loads each month. The salaries here might be higher then say the UK, but the rent is a joke compared to the UK as well!! We might earn more but we spend more too.
I went to uni in the UK and then chose to come back to Qatar because of the weather, the laid back lifestyle and the lack of crime. I'll NEVER make loads of money in my chosen career but then as long as we're making enough to live comfortably I'd rather be doing something I love then slaving away in an office. I would have been better off staying in the UK where there would be more opportunities for me but I didn't want to.
I love how it's just assumed we're all here and rolling in money - I wish!!
