Typical corporate popaganda. Let's flood the nation with cheap STEM talent so we don't have to pay highly inteligent and educated workers a living wage.

Why don't we do this with surgeons so we can get their salaries down?

He finally figured that out did he? They guy is a genius!

But the 1.8 million people who have been saying this for the past 5-10 years must be super geniuses.

Because to practice medicine you need to graduate from an accredited AMA medical school. Despite the rising population, the AMA hasn't proportionally increased the amount of allowed graduates.

Yay special interest!

Right....

Because in relation to the years of education and post graduate training, the hours worked, the responsibility borne, the mountains of red tape/paperwork and the ever diminishing insurance reimbursement surgeons are "grossly overpaid"

Physicians and surgeons are hardly "overpaid"....certainly not in relation to what these same educated and driven individuals could make if they directed their passion towards business, banking, finance etc....

But sure, dumb it down, pay them less and when the "surgeon" with the University of Phoenix" diploma on his wall living pay check to pay check and checking out at 5 PM to punch the clock races to finish your appendectomy before "quittin time" just remember you are getting what you paid for...

Correct- in order to be a great liar you have to do your best to believe in your own lies then propagate them. Zuckerberg had to do a lot of lying to get where he is. Much like Bill Gates..who's father was a branding lawyer. Bill learned to steal intellectual property early in life. If it was not for his very shrewd father Bill would still be the mail boy in the back room.

I think he was being facetious (hopefully). Like he is saying, 'if we can do this to jobs in STEM, then heck, why not doctors'

Zuckerberg might as well hop on the "we have a shortage of STEM people" bandwagon. It's the trendy thing to do. That way we can justify spending huge amounts of societal resources to train excess numbers of people for non-existent job positions and still justify importing foreign labor to displace Americans.

Mark actually studied sciences at Harvard. He didn't just figure this out. He's known for years. He just didn't speak up about it.
