Have you not heard the new pressures from those countries to allow
members of equivalent professional bodies to work in this country?

If it wasn't for the language barrier I would go for the easier SEP
qualification. Lower fees as well.

Equal professional bodies, of course, would require equal qualifications.

That's what free markets are. Anything else belongs in communist
countries.

Many markets are rigged.

And you seem happy to ensure they remain rigged - in your favour.

Legal and accounting professions are two others.

So it seems you are happy to compete with others expecting half your
wage. Fair doos.

Protectionism belongs in the era of union dinosaurs.

Why SHOULD somebody pay you twice the fair market rate for the same
quality of work? Just because you happen to have been born in one
particular corner of one particular continent?
