Good point. In fact, an excellent point. At the undergraduate level, you'll find some Americans.
At the Masters level, Americans become a minority in the classes. Let me be very clear - American citizens are a numeric minority in graduate level University courses in computer science, engineering, and other hard sciences.
It gets worse at the doctoral level.
But that isn't the really bad news. China and India are turning out 300,000 engineers per year each to our 50,000. (This is at the undergraduate level).
So...are our engineers 6 times smarter, more creative, and better than one of theirs? 'cause if we're going to have more innovations than they, that's what we've got to do.
Did I mention that the average Chinese gets 10 days off per year? That's total - including holidays, vacations, weekends, everything.
Now, which country shall we suppose will have more innovations?
And then there's the little issue of creativity and natural ability. We keep hearing about how the offshore tech workers will never be able to come up with anything innovative in the tech arena. They just don't have the ability, the savvy, the curiousity, anything.
Amazing how the very foreign students who can successfully navigate the toughtest engineering and computer science programs this country has to offer won't be able to come up with anything innovative, revolutionary and new.
And the country (China) who gave the world gunpowder four hundred years before it ever got to Europe will never be able to reverse-engineer all the cutting edge high-tech gadgetry whose manufacturing we've given them.
Nope. Never happen. Besides, the Chinese are our friends. They'd never do anything to hurt us.
