Don't most countries implement some sort of merit-based immigration? "We want educated people with degrees from this age range?".

Don't employees do that as well - "we want people with these qualifications"... is that terribly wrong?

Yes, almost all countries have that kind of rules, with varied degrees of success. You don't really notice before you move to live in a different country.

Yes, but you end up having waiters with titles like "customer service manager".
