You seriously underestimate the pace of total globalization. As for where people send their children to go to school, Australia, Canada and the UK have exploited our increasing isolationism on immigration issues. Free trade in educational services is a fast growing global markets. Americans will be among the slowest countries in the world to recognize the value of going to school outside the US. We are increasingly irrelevant and isolated by our own prejudices, stereotypes and policies.

Mish, I don't know about China, but in India cheaper? May be in Engineering and Arts but not in medical schools as they are demanding a lot of $$ if you are from US or from outside. Actually it is much harder to get into a top school than here. The competition is freaking unbelievable even at high schools. There is no such thing as school district and zoning. So most of our kids will have tough time getting in there unless they prepare well. Imagine they have 1.1billion people and have less number of universities than here. -J6P do not know who can even afford to send their kids to school here either. How long before we start sending our kids to China and India to study, not only because its cheaper but because they will get a better education as well?

One of my clients photographed a guy who made 70 million on a toy that was very popular here in the US years ago. He saw the toy while on a trip to China. He paid 100k for the license. Then he had a Chinese factory produce the toy and another foreign company ship it to the US and another to distribute it here. A few years later he is 70 million richer. There was no aspect of the venture that was done by him aside from allocating the capital to making the product.

You are the first I've seen bring that possibility up, and it's not really all that farfetched. Timba

We Americans are slow to catch on. People in other countries have long been sending their kids abroad to boarding school and university to study. It is not about a "cheaper" education but instead an education that includes exposure to other languages and cultures. I sent my kids to high school in South America and they now attend university in the US. My kids now can think and speak in multiple languages and cultures. How can a parent put a price on that skill in a global economy?
