If one is not a scholar, probably won't get even a chance to write paper. Writing paper is an art in the civil service, and it takes skills to do it well. One can send in his resume to apply for policy writing, and it goes straight into the waste basket. That's reality and don't make it sound as if anyone who bothers to apply for a "paper writing" job can get it easily. Do you think the civil service hires anyone who applies because paper writing is a simple brain dead job?

Understood. This is the most helpful paragraph yet. Either way can be heaven or hell depending on the environment. Then again, don't mind me asking if you're an IT professional who has been there and done that?

These foreigners are mainly from India and Philippines and most of them have post graduate masters or PHD (credible or not is another story). If you want stable standard work, this will by definition mean some sort of service centre, helpdesk support or process outsourcing work. You will be crushed by them in no time because 1) you are the minority in office 2) they are cheaper 3) they have better paper qualifications 4) they are mobile and can easily relocate to a cheaper country
As a local if you want to do well in IT, you have to either move into large scale enterprise project management, business partnering, niche specialist or engineering sales/BD. These are definitely not the places that you can expect to sit back, relax one corner, work life balance and go through motion doing repetitive process everyday.
In summary, either buck up and change your attitude or go find general work in a stable organization. Don't be an idiot who gets retrenched at 30 years old due to lack of competitiveness and ironically becoming the one with "virulent hatred" for foreigners.

I believe anonymity online entitles one to use strong languages and politeness goes out of the window. Seriously, you may need anger management.
