And look at all the amazing billion dollar tech companies, open source projects, operating systems, programming languages & compilers that come from there compared to the US. Ah yeah, I can see how much better the certification makes everything now. Thanks for that!

Those things are orthogonal. Having 60 work hour weeks, 1 week vacation and tons of VC money to spend is not related with having a degree. In fact many of those marvelous US things were created by expat teams, which got an engineer degree back home before trying their luck in US.

      "many of those marvelous US things were created by expat teams" is that a fact ? or your projection of reality. Edit: since facts are facts are facts: at most US companies can have 15% of visa holders in their workforce. I'm going to wait here and watch Portugal become the next global leader in tech because of better certification of engineers. Give me a ring when that happens ok?
