The practical consequence of the other side's framing is that it nudges people to leave before they even look. If everyone hears "no jobs," that belief becomes self-fulfilling: talent exits, local firms struggle to hire, and the story looks true. Sure, Kerala lacks the high-paying tech scale of a metro, and my opponent's salary point is fair. But opportunity isn't only a big-campus salary; tourism, healthcare, remittance-backed services, and remote work are real. Better to say jobs are different, not absent.
