Surely America can churn out good Semiconductor physicists?
- netsharc 6y agoDat "Murica!" pride. "TSMC is ahead, is it handouts?" (Hint, Boeing also gets a shitton of handouts, hmm, and they built planes that actively overrode the pilots, and actively wanted to crash instead of fly.) Maybe if education wasn't so neglected that teachers have to use their own money to buy supplies, and creationism is taught as a valid theory, and instead maths and science are improved by a shitton, then you can churn those semiconductor physicists. So, who's going to plant their flags on this comment?
- mjevans 6y agoCould it? Yes. Is studying to become such a profession something valued by the culture at large? Not really. STEM generally in America is seen as something for dweebs and nerds to do. At least within the last two decades the really smart math types have been busying with legalized gambling on the stockmarket. A comparison of salaries, free time and quality of life after work, and other life metrics would probably lead many to consider other fields of work.
