Easy access to money for higher education.
Making money is easy as long as you willing to sweat for it. I have seen people work two years straight a farrin and pay off house buy more land a Jamaica, things they could not do working a gov. job for 10 years.
Reliable health care system if you have money
Many social programs and grants available
small business easier to start
election keep and nobody even care what color clothes you have to wear and which area to avoid.
Access to information, meeting people from all over the world and expereincing new cultures
More opportunities to better own's position in life.
((dajah)) what do you like about farrin, since you're here and not there.... what keeps you here....?

I have it very good here.
I am one of the lucky ones and I give thanks fot that,
But the mojority of the ppl I deal with pan eddah a friend/family basis or wid ppl troo my involvment in the human rights group don't, many are suffering. And nuff a dese accesses aren't so easily available to them, due to one ting ar aneddah. The grass is not green for nuff ppl due to much individualityness set in the minds of the ppl.

But dah jah, yu noh notice the caveat that money involved in most of them tings. Dat is what farrin good for, you think most jamaican would a tek up and leff if they could earn not even the same amount but a comparable figure, most a wi just a count dung till the finances right and wi gone back home. Mi also just a talk from my experience of living in America. But if given the choice of being poor in this country or yard, mi a talk dirt poor, I would rather be dirt poor in Jamaica than here.
