This article suggests more attention be paid to defectors with professions so they can assist when reunification happens

In the book, "Nothing to envy" there were two professionals.

One was a doctor and the other I think was an engineer.
When they made it to South Korea, their certifications were not valid and they had to start again.
The doctor did start again and set up her own family practice and the other I think did find professional work. I'd have to go back and look it up but the point is that these professionals had real life experience and this should not be discounted.

The article reports that many North Korean professionals after reaching the south, look at the years of re-certification and settle for lower positions which is a waste of talent.
