Maybe so, but 15 years of school is not for everyone. Plus, for every one MD, we need probably 20 skilled workers. Just because one doesn't become a doctor, doesn't mean they're destined to be a peasant.
I'm not saying American born citizens shouldn't strive to be whatever they want. But realistically, not many have the brains, desire, or finances to go through med school.
A childhood friend is an anesthesiologist. Don't get me wrong, he's now making great money, but we graduated in 2005 (he was 2nd in our class of 88). I bet he was nearly $400,000 in debt coming out of school, if not more.
Our valedictorian was a genius, but had no desire to be a doc. He's now an accountant.
At this point I'm rambling, but skilled trades is where the real shortage of labor is and will be. Not high-end paying medical doctors.

I feel like there's a lot of ignorance in this view.No, American kids have a disadvantage. I’m sure there’s foreign kids that learn medicine real early, and it’s free.
You just move in and make a lot of money from the way I see it. Maybe they enroll here for a short period, but who cares at a doctors salary. Please let me know if I’m wrong.

American kids at a disadvantage? How? That our school systems already teach things that a majority of the population will not use in their profession? That kids aren't even taught about taxes, investing, and and other financial topics? Sure, they could have a disadvantage because they're not learning things that apply to real life. I'm a manufacturing engineer and I've never used Algebra 2 or Pre-Cal in 15 years of working.
Foreigners just move in and make a lot of money? They still have to do the schooling, regardless where it takes place. If they want to practice in the States, they have to pass all the same requirements to do so that a citizen does. It's not like there's a separate set of rules and regulations between the two.
In the end, it comes down to individual responsibility, work ethic, and desire to do what one wants. Not some systemic issue that's holding American kids back from becoming a doctor or a welder.

Not entirely true - 2 Pinocchio's out of 5. Tons of high paying jobs in tech that require US Citizenship and Security clearances. Entry level for Sr scientist $47/hr @ 50 Hours a weekA good mindset, but we’re losing high paying jobs like doctors to foreigners. Our kids are their receptionists, nurse assistants and maintain their buildings and land.
I have to be honest.... I've never watched that movie. #mancardatstake@nickf2005 "Maybe so, but 15 years of school is not for everyone. Plus, for every one MD, we need probably 20 skilled workers. Just because one doesn't become a doctor, doesn't mean they're destined to be a peasant."
LOL, every time I read comments like that I think of Caddy Shack, where the kid tells the rich guy he needs money for school and the rich guy replies:
"The world needs ditch diggers too, son!'
Roflmao....

He provided a mere example. Theres plenty of private sector, non-medical jobs out there that will pay close to and above 100k.So kids have to rely upon government regulations to secure a high paying job?
Teaching kids about medicine early not only leads to them becoming doctors, but researchers, pharmaceuticals, etc.
If you don’t remember, the U.S. was paying millions to the Wuhan lab, so make sure you pay your taxes homie. We probably don’t know all the other medical facilities outside the US being paid by us.
Even Facebook hires a ton of visa workers.
you realize medicine is a highly regulated field, right?So kids have to rely upon government regulations to secure a high paying job?

Glad you’re son is ok man, great news.Is she okay now? I hope so. Everything can change in an instant. My son was rescued yesterday out in the bay. His kayak sank. Thank God he had a lifejacket on and the Fire Department was able to get to him.

Again, why teach 100 kids about medicine when 1, maybe 2, of them will want to use it? Especially when you get into rural America where even a smaller percentage couldn't care less to be a doctor. They want to weld, build things, fix things, and possibly own their own small business. How about we teach those things?
Seems like a waste to teach the whole bunch just because you're scared somebody from India is going to be your doctor.
I know several (American born) pharmacists and none of them were "taught medicine" prior to going to college. They're doing just fine.

You're a dense individual. I give up. You win.I’m not scared of Indian doctors but I have seen enough of them to know they are total shit.
I’m sure that not everyone wants to be a doctor, but it was one example.
The reason that most kids want to “build things” is because that’s what they learn outside of school, or watching tv ie American Chopper, and it’s much more feasible than anything they’re learning in school.
I repeat, doctor is just one example, but glad you’re fine with your daughters being their receptionist bitches for a little over minimum wage.
