Bruce, you are talking about a country which kicks you OUT of the workforce at the age of 30 and will not hire you under any circumstances. They do not even accept your application. One of the reasons Lu is taking Nursing classes is they kick you out at 45 in that field only. The Phils also has a government agency which is tasked with getting as many people out of the country as possible. At this time they are mostly concentrating on shoving out as many males as possible into the slave market of the Middle East, working in construction or as deck hands or truck drivers. The Nursing exports have hit something of a snag because the agency discovered that too many of them were being deported back to the Phils in disgrace. It causes them to lose face, they actually could not care less whether the girls had the training or ability to actually DO the jobs they were leaving for.
And yes, it is all too easy to annoy one of the gatekeepers at these places. They have already thrown every stumbling block possible in Lu's way, the latest is they can't give her the diploma because the hospital claims to have not received the money she paid to the school.
