Here is a country that refused to give me knowledge when i needed it but it's now trying to lure me in.
A decade back i finished my high school in a French speaking country with honors and got an admission in a French university to study Business Administration. I've been refused the entry visa for some imaginary reasons. Unofficially i was part of the group of potential foreign students who may refuse to go back to their home-country after graduation.
I then stayed in my country went to university to get a "useless" B.A. that couldn't help me to face the socio-economic realities of the world.
In 2015 i read a book "Googled" by Ken Auletta that shacked me to the core and pushed me to learn how to code.
I'm now a self taught programmer with skills that will benefit any French Tech startup and products' projects that could create 1000s of jobs in France if i decide to start my companies there.
That said, I would not go to France because it didn't welcome me when i wanted to get in order to acquire knowledge. Now France "needs" me to come and boost their shrinking economy with the tech-knowledge i have acquired elsewhere.
Sorry Monsieur le President, I ain't coming.
- samer66 9y agoIt should not be that personal. This a weird way to think of it, France is 20 million times different from the "France" of that person or persons, who decided you do not go there. I was turned down from getting an entry visa to a country when I needed it the most, yet go it later very easily for something that I was not very keen to travel for it. By the way, I went to France last month and loved every minute of it.
