In the present economic situation I really do wonder why anyone would willing give up a job and whatever little bit of security they have. Ultimately I think people are looking for a different or brighter outlook to what they presently have. This cartoon from the NZ Herald this week, whilst erring typically on the extreme of crass, says it all. We always think that that the grass is greener or that we will be better off elsewhere in some way or another.

Rarely does anyone move here for financial gain, although some do fall into the trap of believing that the cost of living will be lower.
