My experiences are different than yours. I was talking about the service industry where bored front office staff sit yawning and giving you a stare the moment you approach them. So it was about "customer" service not specialists.
My expriences of specialists is - those from the third world (its a term out of circulation after the stunning rise of China in manufacturing and India in Services) are equally well paid now with all companies where human resources are a critical requirement and all "western specialist" whom we deal with as our sub-contractors turn out to be "monkeys" in lala land (with due respect to a miniscule hard working/capable minority in the same groups we deal with).Its the third world which is "actually doing the job".
Here I am not talking about "first world" companies building labour accomodations in Industrial cities of qatar. I have little trust or respect for such "first world specialists". If you are really talking about genuine specialists then money alone is never a criteria of "career advance". Its always the enabling enviroment, professional satisfaction ( a much abused term), responsibility and appreciation, along with comfortable living. Something which is alien to middle east.
By the way I liked the opening ceremony and I feel DAGOC did a good job of what was assigned to them so I have nothing to add to your colourful remarks.
