    It needs to be more than education. For instance, I know a county that subsidizes nursing school. But the nurses are paid a terrible salary and many leave to work in higher paying countries.

    If they would just pay their nurses more, they wouldn’t need to subsidize the education and maybe skilled people would stay.

      I did mention brain drain in my comment. The US is giving up a huge economic advantage being hostile to immigration. Raising & educating children is hugely expensive and having young educated people come to work a life time (and have more children) is an enormous boon.
