Buried in a recent report from the Economic Innovation Group is a statistic that should make every university administrator in America lose sleep: Foreign-born workers who arrived in the U.S. on student visas now out-earn their native-born peers with college degrees by nearly $30,000 annually. They’re also more than twice as likely to work in research and development—the engine room of national progress.
Let me be very clear: This isn’t about IQ. It’s about institutions. It’s about a cultural drift so deep, so corrosive, that a native-born population is slowly being nudged out of its own future—not by brute force or some grand conspiracy but by decades of educational decay, elite indifference, and intellectual cowardice. America didn’t run out of smart people. It ran out of the will to cultivate them.
And nowhere is that more evident than in higher education. Once the incubator of American innovation, producing Nobel laureates, cutting-edge research, and the technological bedrock of the 20th century, the modern university system has devolved into self-parody. Bureaucratized beyond recognition, hijacked by ideological orthodoxy, and driven by administrative bloat, the university is no longer a model of excellence. It’s an HR department with a football team.
Today’s American student is increasingly guided into disciplines that produce little beyond debt and disillusionment. Fields once synonymous with discovery—engineering, chemistry, and applied physics—are under-enrolled, underfunded, and under-defended. Instead, we celebrate degrees in queerness or “Critical Race and Ethnic Studies.” We infantilize students, training them to feel rather than think, and then we wonder why employers look elsewhere.

i.e. whatever happens, don’t hire a white heterosexual male.
Our public schools get their hands on our children for 12 full years. And at the end of 12 years of “education” a large percentage of those kids cannot read (at all) and cannot do simple math. They cannot find North America on a map of the world. But they know a lot about sex. And they know white people are bad.
Good students—both American and foreign—know not to major in gaysbian studies!
The real problem is that too many students are going into finance and consulting instead of STEM!
Mark Andreeson said this recently.
I graduated from pharmacy school in 1985 and geology in 1975.
I had a job waiting for me as soon as I graduated. I chose majors that had much math, chem, physics, biology, physiology and long labs for little credit in hours.
Oddly there was not one Asian Indian in our graduating classes. Today in pharmacy about 25% are Asian Indian and over represented as a percentage of our population. The reason is simple. It is the ethics of their family unit. Education is a very high priority with Indian families. They are not afraid of hard studies of science and medicine. They are also discriminated against in the admission process as are other Asian populations with the exception of those of Muslim religion which is an ugly truth.
I recently had heart surgery for aortic valve replacement and aortic aneurysm repair. This is high risk surgery. My surgeon was from India. He was the head of cardiac surgery and a professor for a major university teaching hospital here in Texas. I selected him, as after researching I found out he was one of the best. His bedside manner was zero, his skill was 100. I chose wisely, he saved my life.
“too many students are going into finance and consulting instead of STEM!”
Wonder what the demand is for STEM graduates. I also wonder if employers prefer the foreigners because they are better or cheaper workers.
What do you mean by “consulting”? There are plenty of “consultants” with a technical\science background.
McKinsey and BCG “consultants” are not scientists!
.....Wonder what the demand is for STEM graduates.....
Ask MIT and the biotech companies! Excellent native English speakers are better than all those South Asians!
With that example Mckinsey, etc. you are absolutely right!
McKinsey is overrated. And with the work and travel load, few can stay there for very long.
Many companies need consulting in STEM, patent law, etc. McKinsey is not the best in those fields.
With that example Mckinsey, etc. you are absolutely right!
No disagreement from me!
“Excellent native English speakers are better than all those South Asians!”
That’s good news!
