Brain Drain Within the EU?
I'm living in Italy at the moment, and I can watch the brain drain happening in real time. Every single university student I know here is looking to go to the UK or Germany when they graduate, almost without exception.I can't blame them at all, taxes are excessive and bureaucracy is excruciating here. Finding even a temporary job usually requires family connections, so the dumbest people with connections end up as managers while the smartest get put into lower positions. It's a great place to live if you have money, but a horrible place to be for smart young people without lots of social/family clout.
