[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, students do display those same skills at US institutions.  [/quote]

I never said they dont. For the Jobs I have placed (pick any top 20 US firm in different industries and I have placed more than 1000 people there over 20 years). There is no comparison between the avg American entry level job seeker that studied abroad vs the ones that studied here. 
You might not like it, but over 20 years, these kids on avg have been better hires. Of course you have amazing kids here. I have placed them all. But there is no question that these kids have been more successful with the firms I have placed for. [/quote]

I also do a lot of hiring and generally agree with this. Kids who have chosen to live abroad for a significant period of time have demonstrated independence and flexibility. Not to say that there aren’t terrible hires who have studied abroad and great students who study domestically, but it is one positive signal about their resilience, which is something that tends to be lacking in the younger generation.[/quote]
