And are you dumb that you will base the success of a group based on who you know? Suppose successful Bajans have no interest in being around an idiot like you? So you will not meet them.
In fact Jamaica, Guyana and Haiti have the highest brain drain in the Caribbean as these are the 3 poorest (aside from the DR). Successful Bajans have no need to leave that island. Why will they put up with all of the risks and uncertainties of migration if their lives are fine?
You have no idea how well Bajans are doing in the USA. Statistics indicate that while around 60% of Bajans with tertiary degrees have migrated to OECD nations(low by Caribbean standards) 90% of their Guyana equivalent has. And in the case of Guyana it gets worse as many have also migrated to other parts of the Caribbean.
So the truth comes to light, you are not such an expert on Barbados as you claim after all. The Bajans flee and the rest of the Caribbean fill the void. If the Bajans did not flee then there would be no need for foreign workers.
I personally know a few Bajans and they are all blue collar workers. Can you say the same for yourself?
