India is getting a lot of high technological jobs because they earned it-pure and simple. The Indian government has created 8 high tech colleges called IITs or Indian Institute of Technology. Each of these colleges are harder to enter than Yale, Harvard, Cornell and Georgia Tech. When these students get out of college they are offered jobs entering at $60,000+ a year plus medical and housing for their family to come and live in the United States. <br> <br> The tuition at these IITs are virtually free because the Indian government pays for most of it. This means that entrance requirement is based on ability and skill, not how much cash you have in your pocket, like US colleges and universities. <br> <br> What the United States should do is copy the Indian government and start giving US students in poverty the same chance. <br> <br> The University of Idaho has lost 1/2 of its Indian graduate students in the last couple of years due to the Indian
government building technical colleges that teach skills that pay well in the global market. The US needs to wise up and catch up, or face losing the best paying jobs in the 21st century.<br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><b><i>"g. crabtree" <jampot@adelphia.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Scott, I am quite familiar with the boom that India has been experiencing in <br>the high tech fields. Their universities turn out top notch product and your <br>absolutely right about the wages.
