in the past, when students did a university degree, they tended to study in their own country.

Nowadays, fresh graduates tend to go abroad looking for a job instead of starting a professional career in their country. While working in an international environment provides benefits to organizations and workers, it can also cause some drawbacks to countries that have invested significant amounts of money in educating such students.

There is no doubt that the idea of working in a foreign country is more popular than ever, especially in countries where students cannot find attractive job opportunities. They prefer to work in places where they have the resources to develop their career. For instance, most Spanish engineers end up travelling to countries like Germany or France to obtain better working conditions and higher wages. Furthermore, companies and research organizations are also interested in forming a widely diverse group of workers. As students are trained differently in each country, firms try to introduce as many nationalities as possible.

On the other hand, governments spend vast amounts of money on educating professionals in their subjects. If they find a job in their nation and develop their career there, the country will benefit from their work. However, if these students decide to go abroad, the administration will not return its investment and lose money. Following the same example, those engineers will not generate income in their country, and the Spanish government will be injured.

In conclusion, globalization has caused that students can easily find job opportunities in foreign countries. Hence, while national administrations might lose their education investment, companies and graduates would benefit from it. Whilst acknowledging these consequences, I take the opinion that the advantages outweigh its possible drawbacks.
