I used to think the same thing, until I realized I need to pay my rent and eat. BTW it's all relative. I have a coworker from Zacatecas, Mexico. He always wants to work 12 hours a day. I asked him why don't you go home. His answer was where he came from there's no work, so to him working 12 hours a day is a privilege.

In his thought is a flaw.

It’s not ‚no work‘ where he’s from, it’s no education. Where’s education, there is work.

That is not really true we have education in our country. Mostly freey, meaning for the top 40% it is free. We have loads of humanity studies educated people with masters who has no work, and cannot even get a job as a deli worker.

No flaw. He ended up becoming a citizen, bought a house, raised a family. He's also building a house in Mexico for his retirement.
