I dunno, Alun. It might soon be hard to convince a lot of people

drastically into debt just to have their field be decimated upon
graduation.

Agreed. The only solution to that appears to be more money in grant form
rather than loan form. At least it can be targeted at particular subjects,
like EE and Comp Sci for example.

I agree with grants, but they should be targeted at occupations where there's a
shortage, not a glut, of trained workers.

According to the Dem's, there's a glut of workers, i.e., unemployment
is at Great Depression levels.

Thus, according to your targeted grant scheme, there will be no
grants.

Meanwhile jobs continue to flow overseas.

Even then, you have countries like India to worry about. Despite their
overall poverty they have more English speaking educated middle class
than America (their sheer numbers help here), and they are willing to
do white collar and professional jobs for much less.

Well, the tech help I've gotten surely doesn't speak English very
well! 8^)

Indians in India use English mostly to communicate with eachother, as they
have a proliferation of different languages. Just because they are fluent
doesn't necessarily mean it's English as you know it, or even as I know it.

From a purely numerical standpoint, it could be claimed that *their* usage is
standard and *we* all have accents...

Depends if they went to the school of English, or the school of
American.
