All of the Baltics are experiencing brain drain, with college-educated women leaving at a higher rate than men. When you can make more as a bartender in London than as an accountant in your home town, it makes no sense to stay. It's actually a big problem: the people that can't make the jump are the ones who don't speak another language well enough to get a job in another country -- ie, the less-educated people. That leaves behind the alcoholics, slackers, and idiots to support the country through their tax contributions. It's not a promising picture.
Time to go to Latvia
