While working in Academia may not be the best choice for so many people, but I reached a point where I realized that this was the thing for me. But it kinda baffles me what might resources and good funding to support such a choice.
While Saudi Arabia is considered a very recent country in the field of Academic Research and Studying, yet it has taken the first place on the world ranking of Arabic countries. Why is that, simply abundance of resources, I mean students enjoy the luxury of getting their text books for free on the expenses of the University, makes you feel bad for the students in Jordan. I mean I remember that buying a test book was a very crucial balance issue, especially for less lucky students, I remember how hard it was to save to get all the books you need, I used to hate reading from copied books, but at some point this was not an option.
Now, I'm in the process of ordering text books for all my courses next semester. and I get to order a bunch for me too. I have a couple of research projects in the making, and I'm gladly getting all the funding I need without having to kiss any assess or beg for money.
I realize that Saudi Students are not as half as good as Jordanian Students, but to be honest. i'll be more glad to work in Saudi than in Jordan. It's simply much more convenient and fulfilling.
You have to admit that this is true.

Good to see you again!
In many ways, yes it is. The convenience provided by the GCC countries is too irresistible to ignore. But you can't feel مقهور that some students truly do not deserve all this convenience. I am not saying that there are no dumb Jordanian students or smart Saudi ones. But the wasted potential of so many good chaps is because of something as trivial as providing the bloody book.
Kinzi: Sorry for not replying any earlier, I got messed up on the comments section. Nice to read from you.
KJ: you're right man, I guess you truly understand the issues that face us and those students. but it seems to be unnerving sometimes. Truly is
