Foreign. Worker or Talent

In the english speaking world, there are Foreign Talents and Foreign Workers.
Funny. Construction workers are foreign workers, while people working in offices are "Talents".
Why funny? Because the Indian worker would have a talent, I am quite jealous about. Or would you want to live in a house that I have built?

To make matters more complicated, some of those foreign workers may have degrees, but just no work in their own country. Lacking opportunity, these folks create their own opportunity by offering their talent in other jobs. Just like the "Domestic Helpers" that work in a richer country to support their family. University degree holder walking your dog.
