When we watched “Maid in America,” we discussed how America devaluates foreign education and requires most people to go back to school in order to get jobs in corporate America and other high industries. For example you can be doctor in India but when you move to the U.S. you cannot keep the same profession until you go back to school. This can be very overwhelming for anyone who have to go through this process because one feels that they are just waiting their time learning again what they already know. I find this to be totally dehumanizing because what makes the American degree better than the one obtained in China or Africa. Just because America is all powerfull does’nt make their education better than any other country.

I am from Senegal and I know countless people who had to go back to school when they moved here, when some of them have Bachelor’s and Master’s but in order to make it they have to repeat what they already learned.

Even though America tends to devaluate foreign education, the corporation Microsoft is an execption. This article http://www.thedegreepeople.com/press/tag/h1b-visas/ is from the Career Consulting International Credential Evaluation Services and it says that Microsoft is willing to hire professionals from other countries with H1B visas because Americans do not make the grades needed to perform the jobs they hire for.

The process however is not an easy one because in order to hire those professionals, an evaluation is required by experts who evaluate foreign education and it is time consuming.
