When a researcher who has gone through university to do a PhD (often up to and beyond the age of 30) gets only 25000 Baht a month what incentive is there for a poor, but quite possibly highly intelligent, young lass from the country to get herself educated?

Self realization, self respect, pursuit of area of interest?

A half-dozen years back I came across a young woman working at an obscure laptop shop in Pantip who seemed to "have it all". She was beautiful of face and body, had a great personality and spoke english quite well. She was a business grad out of ABAC and had just that right balance for a sales person. Not pushy, but projected a sincerity and an eagerness to make me understand the product.

I guess that if she had decided to work in Patpong or some upscale Karaoke bar she could easily have earned up to Bt 100k. But with her personality, brains and talent; I wouldn't be surprised to find her owning an IT firm and making Bt 1 mill +.

No, I didn't buy the laptop .. but I sure wished I had been 30. *sigh*
