Bill, re: I am speaking generally I know you spoke generally. That's why I objected to your general statement about workers in the US compared to workers in Europe. The school system of the two continents are very different in many aspects; more homogenous in the US than in the different European countries. I prefer to keep complex issues simple. It certainly is more appropriate to compare the University system of the US individually with let's say UK, Germany, France (and I would like to add Switzerland, since you mentioned tech schools: ETH). I could however agree that in biological sciences, technology, or medicine the US (Universities) are worldwide very well positioned. And some Universities are on the top of the pyramid. Further, I could agree that if we attributed the existing system in the US in part to the political system, that this system provides the basis for a liberal educational system and (generally speaking) the type of elite Universities that exist in the US. And this exciting environment does attract the very best graduates from all over the world - leading to a high density of Nobel laureates. But - and I am pretty sure about that - this does have nothing to do with the general worker and employee. And I agree this is really to much OT. Regards, Manfred
