Why do people think the grass is greener on the other side?

Simple! Because those people are not happy with their lives, so they always think something better is waiting for them :)

Because suddenly you realize that your life has no meaning and you want to start all over again somewhere else, be it for employment or education there isn't a lot of choice in Mauritius and I don't see it getting any better very soon either...

True all you need to have is determination and hard working. Working and educating abroad needs lots of sacrifice. sacrifices pay off in the end if you are lucky enough to save up for our future. so many people educate and work abroad, save up then go back to Mauritius starting their own business which pays off of course. Good luck!

because sometimes it reallyis. here many people feel stuck in their educational and professional lives and out there you can get many more opportunities than here! they do have a better educational system and the job market is wider than here.
