Why should a young person study for a college degree in America when most of the good jobs are being sent overseas?

Answer 1

I doubt if your assumption is correct. Usually, the jobs that go overseas are not in fact 'good'.

_____

Hundreds of American companies have sent many of their operations to other countries, i.e. Intel and Hewlett Packard plus 450 others in tiny Costa Rica alone, Bellsouth, AT&T and others to the Phillipines, Chrysler and other car manufacturers to Mexico, many computer programming contracts have been sent to India, Pakistan, Costa Rica and elsewhere. Hewlett Packard plans to increase their workforce in Costa Rica this year alone to double what they had last year, to a total of 6,000 workers just in this minuscule country. Since the cost of living is much cheaper in these other countries and although the salaries are much less in dollars, one can enjoy a higher standard of living than in the US.
