The organizations (e.g., NGO’s, U.N., diplomatic corps, multi-nationals, int’l schools) that pay foreigners to work in developing countries want people with skills (e.g., engineers, scientists, economists, doctors, nurses, financial planners, urban planners, teachers). If the organizations just wanted unskilled labor w willing hands in these countries, they could just hire the local people.

Stay in college and learn something. Your brains will be a greater asset to helping the developing world than your unskilled hands.

For what it’s work, I live/work overseas.
