Re: My salute to Sabieh Anwar…
Even though I don’t know the guy, of course, but based on what you are saying, he obviously seems like a very smart person. After getting all these lofty degrees, he decided to move back to Pakistan and teach at LUMS. Pretty good. Many professors at LUMS (and other prestigious institutions in Pakistan) have similar backgrounds, where they achieved great academic success overseas and decided to settle down in Pakistan. My salam and salute to all these great people.
I don’t think straight conversion of US$ to PKR is very helpful or useful. Its more a question of quality of life. LUMS salaries, to my knowledge, are fairly generous too. A person making $15k/month in the US will have about the same life quality in the US as someone who is generously paid by a top-notch Pakistani organization (with all the added perks of paid housing, chauffeur-driven company-maintained car and so on). If a person is a high achiever, its not so much a question of money (he will make good money any where he choses to live) but more a question of life style, and in this case, he decided to be in Pakistan and use his talents to teach students in Pakistan. Kudos! :k:
