Why should someone invest all that money in a career that is going over sea's? AS I HAD SAID!!!
Wouldn't it be smarter for Americans just to become a doctor?
Your first sentence is a joke. I have a PhD, and it would have been "smarter" for me to stay in construction or bus-driving if I'd wanted to make money. We need nurses and doctors. What's your point? They'll have to take chemistry, biology and maybe physics. All of them are stem disciplines.
Afa your skill, it may be impressive, but someone taught you. I teach future engineers and mathematicians every day. Afa, "AS I HAD SAID!!!", I also teach them to write about their technical fields. All of which is irrelevant to the point I made about the success of US students in math. And nothing close to a false flag message.
I would say arguing that Americans give up on studying something because there are fewer opportunities sounds like one can expect a job. Damn, I wish I could feel that way. I've tended to look at it as a competition where I actually had to do better than my competitors.
Besides, I was raised to believe that if I could work with my hands I would never starve. So, I don't tend to whine about someone else getting "my" job and then get angry. Shucks, I've had at least 4 different careers. I left construction because it dried up in NY, and then I became a driver. I didn't blame Reagan.
But, to your point about why an American would study engineering here. Think about it. People from China are coming here to study. Why don't Americans go to China to study? Yeah, why not be a doctor, or lawyer, or an auto-mechanic, or any skilled trade that builds things here?
