People go where the money is, where they feel that they are "appreciated" even if that appreciation is only because they are able to make more money for those they work for.
A truth told that I have also seen in our area or my acquaintances who run after money and go where the money is. I have even seen many people who sell their talent for money when they could have put their skills to good use elsewhere. These are really sad.
It is sad, but it is life. We all do it in some way, because we all need to interact with the economy in some way. It doesn't change, until the way we organize value changes.
