In addition what the other user said:

It's not the average person that comes to Europe for work. The best educated, smartest people tend to come, because only they have the resources and capabilities to do so.

For example, from the very few people I have ever met that migrated from Syria (not as refugees, but regular migration), two of them were into classical music and play multiple instruments on a level that they sometimes play on public events (graduation celebration of college and alike). They also made a PhD here (engineering and medical). There's also a guy from Africa I know doing his PhD in chemistry here at the moment.

Those people are gravely missed in their home country. It's a big reason why such countries still struggle: Skilled people leave the country and migrate to Europe/US/Canada.
