"I work for a university engineering department and we have a real problem with grad students, particularly foriegn grads, doing that. They get in the masters program without any clear idea why. They aren't interested in research, they jsut want a master's degree. They see it as just another hoop to jump through to get more money. The upshit of this is that they tend to have very fragile knowledge. They are all book smarts."
I think you have a very limitted overview of things. The pressures are different and so are the people. I went to do serious AI research but soon found most of the university professors were absolute frauds. They had no serious projects. Most of them were of in their own worlds. May be I wasnt the culture fit. And ofcourse there is always a problem of "RACE". There were people I could have had for lunch in algorithms who were TAing for the course. So I think you should understand the problem a little better before you start off ur mouth..Wow I think I am fitting culturally now better
Thanks
