| | New Economist: Are European degrees all the same? |
 | | Also, visas are also by country, or where, and IIRC the southern country visas were allocated when those countries had a lot more emigrants, so I seem to remember the quotas were not fully used up, thus allowing lesser skilled people to emigrate. |
 | | Also, working visa rules favour the young, and in many ''Southern'' european countries pay is a lot more positively age related than in ''Western'' or ''Northern'' ones, especially in the civil service, which employes more workers too, and most of the academics. |
 | | Probably USA employers do not look at all the prestigiousness of the European degree of a prospective employee, with the possible exception of Oxbridge, which is the only one to have something like a global brand, and just got to pay more than whatever the person involved was making in Europe. |
