I've noticed that almost every time international issues crop up in education discussions, so do questions of economic competitiveness. From there, it's a short step to matters of degrees, students, and jobs in science and engineering. However, it is clear that the majority of Americans, even those with college degrees, won't be working directly in the fields of science and engineering. And yet they, too, will face life in an increasingly global economy. Would these individuals not benefit from incentive programs, from an effort to build public support for degrees in all of the arts and sciences, from better elementary and secondary education?
