If their is no obligation involved, as normally with Corporation/Scholarships, Finland better have the resources to maintain an incentive to keep those trained, or they WILL go elsewhere. I realize Finland is a smaller Country (6M people) and has had great success with 'Free Market Capitalism', however mixing socialism and capitalism, has a peculiar tipping point for continued success...my opinion.
