It considers this trend in more detail, fairly interesting read. http://www.amazon.com/Leaving-America-The-Expatriate-Generation/dp/0313345066/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1349348933&sr=8-2&keywords=leaving+america

What matters is my passion, my education is always a trade or professional degree. I love what I do and am saddened that these perimeters are placed around improving my skills through higher education. Of course, with a little discipline and creativity I can still achieve great things but what requires licensure, unfortunately, has no way around the hours needed other than being sure you take the cheapest path possible.
