Anyone is perfectly capable to become as good as any asian in this trade and Omanis are as fond of movies as anybody else. One major problem is that most of the Gulf Nationals and Expats are still believing in slavery and became outrageously lazy. I don't know many countries where supermarket shoppers have their goods packed in bags at the counter, their trolley taken to their car and goods loaded in the boot. All chores that western families are doing themselves in their respective countries are generally done by expats here in the Gulf. As you may read in the press the Tourism Industry is really going to take off and within the next ten years drastic changes are going to happen.
Opportunities are there to grab.
Young people could learn a foreign language fairly quickly and become involved in the tourism boom that is definitely the economical future of your country. I think this topic has a relevance to Stam's subject of Omanistion with Quality in same Forum, since it is initially all about Omanisation. What an interesting debate. I seem to be particularly in tune with Freddy. First of all, congratulations to the originator of this topic who has correctly identified that should the Government apply its own rules there are hundreds and hundreds of legitimate jobs available to Omanis.
