Doesn't that suggest that the larger problem is the American educational system?  There are very few real scholarships left; students are encouraged to borrow far beyond their means to repay.  In the end, it's a better deal financially to be a truck driver than a doctor because there are no tuition loans to repay.  If America wants to stay a world leader, we need to stop wasting our resources of skill and talent with a flawed educational model.

I work with several Indians and over there, if you have the talent, you are pretty much guaranteed the education it takes to exercise that talent.

My two cents,
John Whitfield
