As I read American brain gain I research that Mr.Geoffrey Parker
was a professor at St. Andrews University in Scotland, he was then
offered a position triple his salary at the University of Illinois in
the U.S. According to the education experts many students have crossed
the borders to join American schools for better education.
It
was interesting learning others struggle and how they survived the
struggle and still maintained to manage school. Last year out of 700,000
American University professors 2,750 were foreigners. According to the
education experts this number has doubled over a decade. For example at
the University of Illinois 270 of their teachers were foreigners. The
largest number of foreigners from last year was from Canada with
205, India with 193,and more, nearly half of the foreigner teachers came
from Asia.
Eventually, Professor Parker 43 years of age took
the offer at the University of Illinois the same day it was offered to
him, he was very excited. When he started working for them he knew it
would be different but he didn't know whether it was for better or
worst. It turned out to be for the better. In England they cut their
schools budgets not only once but twice by 15 percent both times. In Mr.
Smelser opinion which i agree with is "if you stay in school long you
will have more money and more job opportunities with higher salaries.
Stephen Duck came from England to the United States and made double his
salary here in the U.S.
Business and engineer majors have
great opportunities once they receive their master degree. The amount of
money wont change and neither will the people unless they choose to get
fired or something. Mr.Duck says that there is more freedom in the U.S
than their is in England.
In conclusion this article is talking
about how foreign students come to America to receive their education
because it better.
