brain drain : the downside of nomading
"Poor countries across Africa, Central America and the Caribbean are losing sometimes staggering portions of their college-educated workers to wealthy democracies, according to a World Bank study released yesterday.
The study's findings document a troubling pattern of "brain drain," the flight of skilled middle-class workers who could help lift their countries out of poverty, some analysts say. And while the exact effects are still little understood, there is a growing sense among economists that such migration plays a crucial role in a country's development. " (NY Times)

Yeah I agree, it's a big problem in a lot of developing countries. But for the record I must also state that immigrating for a better job is not quite the same as "nomading."
