True he does qualify his initial assertion near the end of the post by saying that to be marketable you need to know multiple languages. I guess what bothers me about this piece is the sense I get that the author is writing from the perspe

The thing I find most surprising is that the US hasn't improved at all across the different age groups where as most other countries have. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues.
