I think the author took some good decisions. First going in a different country, learning and getting to know a different culture. Second, going back to his own country and participate in a rising industry, thus laying another brick at the well being of his country.
It's exactly what I would have done if I were in his shoes. Now it's kind of late for me to go work and study in another country.

I feel sorry for them.
