Mexico produces some outstanding intellectuals, scientists, artists,… Problem is that that the mayority of these people leave Mexico attracted by foreign universities and investigation institutes which offer better salries and a lot of resources for investigation.
Some countries, such as Canada, openly promotes Canada as a better place for Mexican “brains”!
A recent example is Mr. Raúl Rojas, Mexican, working at Berlin’s university. He created the "Spirit of Berlin", the first car which drives in normal traffic without a driver. Another proof of Mexican creativity which is successful abroad. By the way, did you know that the color TV was invented by Mexican?
Of course, I do not blame the Mexican brains who are seeking professional success abroad: in Mexico, the only things they receive are low salaries (average USD 20,000 year) and universities with no or limited resources enough for investigation…
