Office Hours: Should Meta Pay Dividends? + International Students, and Finding Hope

Job Markets

Navigating job markets as an international student can be daunting, especially when deciding between the US and Europe. Scott Galloway suggests that while the US offers significant opportunities for making money, Europe, particularly cities like London, provides a great quality of life and is currently more affordable due to the weak pound 1. He advises international students to "go hard at trying to find a job in the US" but also acknowledges that Europe is a fantastic plan B 1. Galloway emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's privileges and opportunities, encouraging students to appreciate their unique position in the global job market 2.

   

International Students

International students play a crucial role in the US education system, often seen as a financial asset due to their full tuition payments. Scott Galloway candidly states that the higher education system's claim of diversity is misleading, as the primary motivation is financial 3. He argues that international students, who often come from privileged backgrounds, contribute significantly to American culture and can foster international goodwill 3. Galloway believes that increasing the number of international students who stay in the US post-graduation could enhance international relations and trade, reducing the likelihood of conflicts 3.
