Je ne suis pas un fan du RN mais j'ai été expat a travers le monde et c'est comme ça dans la plupart des pays. Rien de choquant.

My top 5 overvalued/overpaid jobs:
1) Hedge fund manager/trader (does not really contribute to society)

3) Celebrity Influencers
4) Professional Athletes
5) TV Personalities
