Innovation in Higher Ed

This article has elements of two of my favorite topics in one: 1-Higher Ed needs a serious shake in its current structure 2-fix the damn age-related diseases guys, if you open your eyes a bit wider to see just how serious this problem is!http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

The main reason lots of talented youth from oversees come to the states and stick to the higher education is not because they don't see the real world problems. It is because current policies do not allow investors to fund international entrepreneurs who have ideas and want to pursue it independently. Grad schools suck in talented youth from oversees without providing them with enough funding to pursue their own dreams in their research lab. Grad students often have to work on the problems imposed to them by their industry partner or senior supervisor. Most young innovators have no choice but to postpone pursuing their ideas after they can get their degree and secure they will not be kicked out of the country if they quit.
