I met two lovely young 20-somethings in a dining group I belong to. Both ready to get their MBAs. Didn’t have the heart to tell them that their degrees were close to worthless.

Souns like a self-serving statement. Multinationals like to hire foreigneers because they are cheap labor.

But too many of the will be reliable, dependent, Democrat voters. Obama will be pleased and the education grants will flow to make more of the same.

This isn't new. Twenty plus years ago, it was very difficult to find metallurgical or chemical engineers unless you considered foreign nationals schooled in the USA. It was even more difficult to find American graduates who would relocate to mining towns.

To play the devil's advocate:
The only way I would expatriate from my beloved United States to work overseas is with a robust employment contract.
Employers can be equally quirky and flaky, so it's a two-way street.

Maybe this guy should know that a lot of Americans - after spending a ton of dough and in some cases busting butt for 4 years to get a degree - have no inclination to live in a polluted, crime ridden $hithole so the multinational can have a wider profit margin.
That said, I'm still looking for jobs in Singapore.
FWIW, I have worked in Korea and Russia - you see a lot of Alaskans and folks from Down Under working OS. Don't know why, you just do.

Life is easy and hard at the same time. Hard, if you can't find someone to employ you, and easy if you can sell a product or service to a customer.

What he is REALLY saying is they work 60 hours a week for 1/2 of what Americans want..
If our universities are so bad, why is our local University’s medical. dental and engineering schools filled with Muslims, Indians, Chinese etc??

I had this exact discussion with my coworkers 2 weeks ago.
The is no longer the societal stigma attached to adult children, who can afford to live on their own, still living with their parents.
And I think that changed within the last 10 years or so.

worthless degrees
Disagree. I wouldn't give back a second of my education, and am considering going back and getting a bit more.

Long ago I got a BA in History. I had a lot of fun getting it, but I've never used it. My niece just started college and she's majoring in history. I took my brother aside and said: "Bad idea. It will not help her and it will cost you and arm and a leg. You need to tell her that you will pay for a useful college degree, but not a Liberals Arts degree. I've been there -- I know what I'm talking about."
My brother just shrugged. He is, after all, a barking moonbat.

Universities often consider private markets unpleasant or yucky. For this reason they teach courses that often have little to do with real markets; the outlook of the professors and the syllabi reflect this.
The more a prof eschews market, the more he is worthy of academic dignity and legitimacy.
Is it any wonder that those who graduate cannot market themselves, or compete in that market? No.
The solution is to bring universities to the market, which means moving it all ONLINE. The only complication would be LABS —noting more.

In my years (70’s) hiring professionals for an industrial plant, I found regional universities did the best job. Engineering, Business Adm and industrial technologies/management degrees were a good fit for first level management openings and bottom level positions in engineering and administration. Also, it seemed the top grads academically had a more difficult time working in groups and teams.
