It always surprises me how countries don't offer automatic citizenship for people either working towards or who have already received advanced degrees in scientific/engineering fields. Surely there are few better ways to achieve technological superiority, either for economic or military reasons. It also tends to filter out religious extremists, if that's your justification for immigration restrictions in the first place.
- selimthegrim 10y agoFalse - many of the 9/11 hijackers had engineering degrees. Engineering education especially in a lot of those countries actually makes one less of a critical thinker and more vulnerable to accept dogma without objecting.
- wyager 10y agoInteresting, I did not know that. Thank you. Interesting argument wrt educational dogma in the Middle East. I know it's a problem in Indian higher education.
