I know several other Harvard (and other Ivy League) people are here besides my husband and myself. With an average of 20-plus years experience. So we do exist. But we certainly didn't come for the money or the purported lifestyle. We came because we share Sheikha Moza's vision of education and empowerment for a newly emerging country, especially the women. Has it been easy or comfortable? No, but we are glad we did it. It's not all about money! Believe me, we have lots of options, just as well-paid. We chose the Gulf. And we certainly seem to be appreciated, thank you! So let's not get carried away with derogatory stereotypes. I'm sure you'd think I'm very nice and very competent were you to meet me.
