Personally, I've found the western tech industry treats employees extremely well, compared to any other job I've had. Flexible hours and dress code, excellent pay, light supervision, hundreds of employers, air-conditioned offices, great safety record, interesting and meaningful work for those that want it - and it barely needs a college degree. It's not perfect, but it's better than 95% of jobs out there. (Of course, the games programming industry is to be avoided at all costs)
