What are the key tips for someone who wants to work internationally?
Working internationally requires understanding several critical components. First, address legal aspects by researching work permit options like Germany's Blue Card, which requires a minimum salary of €45,552 for fields like engineering (€58,400 for other professions). Education plays a significant role - having a German degree opens more opportunities and allows you to work in your expertise area with average profession salaries. Alternatively, pursuing a master's program abroad creates pathways to employment, as graduates can find positions in their field more easily. When preparing for international work, assess your skills, develop language proficiency, and create a concrete career plan that aligns with the legal requirements of your target country.

Why is there a decline in Indian students studying abroad in traditional destinations like the US, UK, and Canada?
The decline is caused by multiple factors, including diplomatic tensions, stricter visa policies, and rising costs. Canada saw the steepest drop (41%) following diplomatic fallout when Canada's PM accused India regarding Hardeep Singh Ninjal, leading to tightened visa regulations. The US (13% decline) faces challenges from Trump's rigid student visa policies, while the UK (27% drop) implemented stricter rules limiting family accompaniment and post-study work options. Additionally, the rupee's depreciation against the dollar (from ₹82 to ₹87.34) has significantly increased education costs abroad, pushing students toward alternatives like Russia, Germany, and Uzbekistan, which offer more affordable tuition and easier visa processes.

What educational spending decision is Jesse Watters criticizing in this clip?
Jesse Watters is criticizing the U.S. government for sending $50 million to schools in Asia while simultaneously shutting down schools in America. This spending decision highlights what Watters perceives as misplaced priorities in American education funding and government expenditure. The commentator uses a reference to former President George W. Bush ("Dubya") to emphasize his concern about whether American children are receiving proper education. Watters' dramatic conclusion, "I'd like to report a murder," metaphorically suggests that this funding decision is severely damaging American education.

Why does Trump want to eliminate the Department of Education?
Trump advocates eliminating the Department of Education because despite the US spending more money per pupil than any other country, American education ranks poorly internationally (around 40th place). He believes education should be managed at the state level, allowing states like Iowa and Indiana that "run well" to control their own educational systems. This decentralized approach would maintain educational funding while implementing higher standards and promoting school choice, potentially cutting costs by half while improving outcomes to compete with top-performing countries like Norway, Sweden, and China.
