Marketability should not be the only metric for valuing skills. How do you select the immigrant whose child will be the next Michael Phelps, or the next Einstein, or the next Pele?
- Evbn 14y agoYou select marketable immigrants with the resources to invest in education and training, like the people you named's parents.
- rhizome 14y agoPele grew up poor, Einstein's dad was a salesman, and Michael Phelps' parents are a retired cop and a principal, none of which would be eligible under the kinds of criteria being discussed here.
