[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP here. A vast majority of our school system does NOT prepare our children if we are hoping for them to strive for the top jobs. Just look at all the top STEM and research positions, they are disproportionately people who grew up outside the U.S.[/quote] This is true, but it is not primarily because of educational systems. The US makes it much easier for people with advanced STEM degrees (MS, PhD) to immigrate in to the US, so people outside the US target those degrees for improved odds of getting a US immigrant visa. Tech companies like this setup, because the external supply of new hires tends to depress US STEM salaries a bit. As more US-born students dive into STEM, which seems to be a clear current trend, this all might change.[/quote]
