    Unironically I would be literally thrilled to contribute to this brain drain. I’d drop everything and get on a plane right this very second for a chance to do a PhD in literally any other country.

    If anyone is looking to fill a electrical engineering PhD position literally anywhere but America then I’m ya boy.

      Finland has tuition free PhD programs for nationals of any country, Germany and Netherlands offer paid research positions where you basically are a full time student and still a part time lecturer - working hours can be tough though, since you need to balance the two. If you have some modest savings, Malaysia has some excellent universities and very cheap tuition (I’m doing my phd here and pay about 10k USD for a 3 year program) and cost of living is very low.

          Yep, from highschool onwards the education system is fully in English. It’s pretty much an exact copy of the British system from that point on, thanks to the colonial past.
