The world needs ditch diggers, too.
Does the military spend $400,000, or more, per person to get transmit the highest level of skills to its workforce?
I doubt that, yet they seem to get some pretty impressive results.
True, but we also need dentists and it shouldn't cost $400,000 to get a degree in dentistry. That's just ridiculous!
We're going to wind up importing a bunch of Filipino "dentists" on H-1B visas because we don't have enough of our own --because our own can't afford to go to dental school.
