Ex-Google boss Eric Schmidt: US 'dropped the ball' on innovation
> "America does not have enough people with those skills."<p>Seriously, I feel the US has a big education problem, with part of it being cultural I think. Seems being educated, knowledgeable, having expertise, learning about science and technology, medicine and law, just isn't valued anymore, in fact it's almost being denigrated and shamed.<p>What I see instead is people pushing for anti-intellectualism and valuing the "college dropouts".<p>There's also just the quality and access to education seems it's getting worse and worse.<p>I don't know, but it frustrates me that the truth is the US doesn't have the know how that its companies require anymore, and has to either outsource the work or import workers who do from elsewhere.
