Only 50% of university students who take up computer science studies
in Spain manage to finish their 4-year degree. The major reason
for quitting is the fact that students are offered all sorts of
jobs in business. Despite all these students the number of computer
experts needed today is four times as large as that.
It is striking that in a country such as Spain the immigration policy
goes two ways: whereas all sorts of restrictions are applied to
non-qualified manual workers, special visas are issued on purpose
to attract computer experts from countries outside Europe in order
to meet the needs of the market.
If you like, give your opinion on this issue: should some jobs be
rated higher than others? Does this kind of policy support the idea
that there are first class citizens as opposed to third class ones?
Should
human beings be able to migrate freely? Or should migration policies
depend on the colour of their skin, their qualifications as workers,
etc?
Do
you know of other similar discriminatory policies?
