Re: Brain drain and head hunters
When my brother left for the States in1982, he took his engineer diploma (from here) with him with everything he did during his university years (for the employers to understand what he did as there are no diploma equivalence between the US and Belgium).
What appeared was that head hunters were after recent immigrants rather than American students for the most interesting jobs (because of the "difference" in general culture and favorable opinion towards our diplomas).
There has been and still is a brain drain from Europa (and other parts of the world) to the States but that doesn't mean necessarily it's good for American students.
