The apartments are usually paid for so you have very few bills and everything (well most things) are a lot cheaper than in the west.
Lots of people don't come here just for the money anyway.

Naby directors don't have a degree, maybe, but as long as they can run a business, so what? (Of course many can't run a business to save their lives, even with a degree!)
