Foreign talents

Read an article on The Straits Times yesterday on the spouses of expatriates in Singapore. Those who subscribe to the online version can read it.

It reminded me of my neighbours. The wife was sent by her company to Singapore, and the husband decided to close down his restaurant in Japan and followed her here. But he is not wasting time here. He went ahead and found a job at a Japanese restaurant as a chef. I guess being a chef is a bonus for job mobility, since you can probably find a job anywhere in the world cooking meals for others. For those whose talents/qualifications are not so mobile, I wonder what the job market has for them?
