People climb up the ladder because they want to get out of where they are. It's not very often that someone climbs out and elects to go back down to help others.

It also doesn't make sense to stay. If you're an autodidact, you almost certainly really enjoy learning. Where better to do that than a University/think tank?

What better way to learn through osmosis than immersing yourself in a foreign (in terms of familiarity not nationality) cultural environment? Then youre learning every second of every day, if youre trying to or not.
