[quote=GRIZ326,271605]A degree, by itself, is no guarantee of a job in the USA and probably in most countries of the world.

The problem of a glut of people with an undesirable degree has to do with the life-cycle of the need: industry cannot find qualified workers; schools sees opportunity to provide valuable education; industry either finds workers or work-arounds to satisfy the need; students graduate with the specialized training to a reduced market opportunity.

>>>Of most concern, company managers say, is that many students lack creativity and analytical ability, having been drilled in memorizing and reciting facts.

>>>Universities should train students more according to the needs of the job market and encourage them to be more innovative.

This continues to be a red herring used by educators, individuals and organizations unable to verbalize the short-comings of the students they taught or the employees they hired. Rote learning teaches students how to "learn to learn" which is lost in most modern educational methods. Our experience hiring Asian workers is very good. If there is a frequently seen short-coming it is in the willingness of a good Asian employee to assert a point of view or to independently make a decision. These issues appear to be more connected to matters of face than to a failure of education. Once they understand that they are on our team and that we need their thoughts and need for them to make decisions, they quickly get on board.[/quote]
