Re: Would you do it again?
I would say much different in Spain.
Ireland has picked up and the movement to and from the UK is fairly normal in this day and age with skilled workers moving in as well as out.
With regard to Spain the virtual one way movement out of skilled workers continues to increase to the UK, Germany elsewhere in N.Europe and Worldwide.
Little wonder that the language schools, many of which didn't even exist a few years back are doing a roaring trade.
The Spanish have paid scant attention to such things for as long as I can recall until all of a sudden these last few years they realize how desperate the situation has become and how important it is for themselves and their families to make really serious efforts in this direction in the hope of guaranteeing themselves a better future.

The Uk seems to be suffering from "skilled" people leaving more so than arriving.

Re: Would you do it again?
Absolutely true. It's getting a lot better now.
But I think one change that would immediately effect a dramatic difference is to bar any public servant or member of the legal system (including lawyers and judges) that spends any time in jail for any violation of the public trust. It seems we still have quite a few at all levels of the legal and political system that have been in and out of jail repeatedly - one concept that you really have to get used to if you come from elsewhere.

I believe there was a link demonstrating that even the UK can offer skilled Spanish doctors double the wages they are earning now and no doubt that could be bettered elsewhere.

I'd do it again, I'd just do it sooner

That's true, but from what I have read and seen, it is mainly people who can't get a job who are leaving Spain, not those who want to be paid more

My wife is friends with a Pharmacist who is currently studying English so he can move to the UK and earn much more money, which backs up DD.
Then again, my wifes cousin who is a newly qualified architect is currently working in Sweden as an au pair!
Her partner, also an architect is staying hear, living with his parents whilst trying to find work ... no luck yet
... in the mean time, he´s taking German classes as he already speaks good English.

Re: Would you do it again?
Surely just a silly fleeting thought anyway. Imposing any silly rule like that would require them all to legislate themselves out of a job! And power. And money. And...
