All who live in Mexico, or visit frequently, should have a interest in the subject. I also get the impression that you two don't really disagree all that much. You just have slightly different perspectives based on personal experiences. Bill, if it were true about the HR people you said were tossing UNAM graduates resumes on a wholesale basis, i would find that rather shortsighted. I know in the u.s.
Some schools focus too much on theory and others on the technical aspects.
However, i would have to be a fool to not look at those graduates on an individual basis. I am a firm believer that one can learn almost anywhere if they want to. One gets out of an education what one puts in. Hopefully, some of the other posters will read the 'discussion' and think about the education issue, just a bit.
