In the early 80’s, I lived in Vancouver who had zillions of “PhD Indian physicists” who were driving taxi cabs.

Or at least, that's the education they often mentioned to me.

Yes, and the major at the time for many of those PhD’s was economics.

Many of the top medical schools with limited class vacancies (I'll use the University of Michigan Med School as an example) are accepting these older individuals with their advanced degrees into their schools ahead of qualified American students.

Following his graduation from Williams College in Massachusettes (12th in his class), my nephew applied to U of M med school but they had to turn him down for that fall due to these foreigners with their degrees taking up most of the vacancies. They did however promise him that they would accept him the following year.

So he took the year off and went to Europe to play semi-pro hockey...........then came home and went on to U of M where he graduated.
