[QUOTE=Antdawg;48145038]Because they need the graduates to stay before conditions in the country can improve. Hungary is suffering from a brain drain where the people who can contribute the most to society are instead pursuing opportunities in other countries.[/QUOTE]
I find it unfair forcing graduates to stay in a shitty country just because they wanted to educate themselves.

If they paid for their university education themselves then sure they are free to leave, but if the state paid for that education, as is the case, it would be reasonable for the government to be re-paid in some way.
Eg imagine if you applied for and received some kind of scholarship from a huge company where they paid for all of your university fees on the basis that once you finish your degree that you'll have to work at that company for like at least ten years, but once you finish your degree you instead fuck off and work for a competitor of that company, where the position requires you to have a degree, which let me remind you was paid for by the first company. Because that's what's happening.
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;48144141]Being one of the last places in the list generally implies it is one of the worst items in the list (assuming the it is an ordered list from best to worst) implying "hungry is one of the worst places to move to"
"one of the" carries some weight but I guess thats down to interpretation.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. It is one of the last places he [i]should[/i] move. Considering he lives in the United States.

Not the same. A company profits from clients, a government gets taxes. If you are managing your taxes so badly that you need to lock your own citizens in is kinda horrible. Over here we have budget groups where government pays for your education and you are not imprisoned in your country afterwards. I feel that education should be free with no strings attached. If your country lacks "brain", you can do what others do and hire people from other countries. Limiting freedom in a way like that is just stupid and should not be permitted by human rights.

How are you going to manage taxes successfully if your working force leaves the country ? Who will work and create new job opportunities. You end up with retired old people and children that you need to support out of what... air.
Who is going to manage your taxes successfully if your highly educated economists leave the country ?

Where is the end to it ? How are those other countries going to produce enough "brains" if the ones they have leave ? Where will they get their brains, who will teach their next generation ? The street, a shaman.
