Korean minimum wage is 5x higher than the Philippines. It's literally why people want to work in other countries.

@life_is_a_myth Yeah, you are starting to dance in the realm of nationalist pride and how the world views a country. Honestly, that seems like idealist goals rather than practical ones. And, I think you are talking about unrealistic scenarios with Korea. No one is immigrating to Korea in large scale numbers with higher end skill sets. They are one of the most educated populations on the planet.

lol, everyone gets discriminated if they are immigrants. Just how things work.

@life_is_a_myth That's missing the point. If a foreign doctor wants to qualify for the Korean medical board, there are avenues for that. Visas for lower skilled workers is much harder to qualify.

@life_is_a_myth Actually, no. Immigrant doctors in the US are discriminated against. Even the 2nd generation ones. But, it's apples and oranges. I'm not seeing how this program is a negative. It's taking a lower skilled, but qualified person and allowing them to earn a higher salary. Yes, different country, language and custom differences and other headaches. That's the tradeoff though. It sounds like you are assuming that any professional job is "easy" to work internationally. It's way way harder than lower skilled jobs unless you are a top tier talent.
