America's brain gain

  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.
