The Bel Paese has missed the boat, His talents have to take the plane.
The brain drain has become a phenomenon so well established in Italy and the applicant, who seems to have become almost normal and widely accepted, a routine per un paese che con un eufemismo potremmo definire anziano e stanco, lacerato da un’instabilità politica interna e da una mentalità collettiva che lo sta portando a sopportare ogni cosa o addirittura a non vedere i problemi di cui sta soffrendo.
Un tempo il nostro Paese era famoso nel mondo per la letteratura, per l’arte, per la politica, per le scienze e per altre nobili ragioni, ora in tutti questi settori siamo fortemente indietro rispetto agli altri paesi europei e a numerosi altri paesi del pianeta. Tuttavia l’italiano tipico si considera ancora al centro del mondo, soprattutto dopo che l’Italia ha vinto i mondiali di calcio: campioni del mondo? Si ma solo in uno sport o forse anche in ipocrisia.
Fortunatamente there are those who denounce a situation far less serene on issues far more important, as does Irene Tinagli in his new book "Talent slashing."
The fact that many Italian artists decide more often to flee abroad is mainly due to the three reasons mentioned in the article by Michele Smargiassi Repubblica: universities, business and geography.
Without repeating what was said by a journalist, I will focus on discussing these three reasons with the eye of the student, who unfortunately is experiencing firsthand the dramatic problem.
For the university, I think rightly pointed out that in addition to the problems by Smargiassi, there is little capacity to incentive motivation and a complete lack of creativity on the part of the Italian Faculties. With regard to engineering, which was my choice as a course of study, I have noticed in recent years the shortage of teachers who know how to motivate their students, who manage to give their point of view, even a little different from the conventional focusing on concepts and formulas to know by heart without a hint to the development of their creativity.
I arrived in Computer Engineering 3 years ago now, with a passion for computing, with the eyes of a boy five years computers assembled in the shop under the house and get ready to leave hours from the sick my passion, devoid of interest in what I chose and with a single interest turned to the economy, the material that has less to do with the others in my degree and perhaps also for this reason he took my eyes a special charm being the only one who can stimulate my creativity.
And it is the creative factor that Google has created what he called "the Facebook problem", or "brain drain" from Google to the holding of Zuckerberg, a migration that seems to do with the search for adventure, a place which we can nurture their talent and creativity, and which was represented by the Google of yesterday and you can find in Facebook today.
Unfortunately most of my colleagues with whom I'm talking not feel the same way, have become accustomed to the system "study, learn by heart, it records the vote, forget and find work as soon as possible, preferably close to mom and Dad "characteristic of the university system and social in this country.
Companies are certainly a critical factor. In Italy is dominated by small and medium businesses, often family run, almost always suspicious than any opening to the outside, reluctant to accept external contributions not only in terms of funding (public and which are not repayable), but also of ideas capable of triggering virtuous processes innovation: a lethal cocktail for a new graduate with talent and creativity.
As for the low wages which I think is sad is that most of my university colleagues, there is still a belief that the title of Engineer automatically give you the opportunity to play important roles and make lots of money: when I pointed out to them that currently shape the program in a computer company (often within the role that engineers do not know what to do the job just a diploma from a technical institute) is roughly equivalent to that of a metalworker, I am accused of pessimism. Finally
also geography as underlined in the article is un aspetto che non va sottovalutato: la mentalità degli italiani è per la maggior parte chiusa e miope; mi permetto di fare alcuni esempi senza scendere troppo nello specifico.
La nuova generazione di imprenditori che si sta formando, per lo meno in Veneto, è spesso composta da figli di papà che non hanno dovuto fare nemmeno un briciolo di fatica per raggiungere i loro obbiettivi, grazie agli sforzi compiuti dai loro genitori in passato, una generazione che è spesso più attenta ad esibire la propria automobile per le strade del centro città piuttosto che a interessarsi di un’azienda che non sentono come propria in quanto non hanno dovuto faticare per ottenerla.
L’egoismo che porta molti imprenditori a ritenere di far more important to make lots of money with no interest in legal and illicit methods or even to the detriment of public good is certainly not a positive factor for the formation of companies that can help our country to recover.
If we think that a language like English, which is essential in international business, is often completely ignored by our Veneto entrepreneurs who are struggling even to speak in an Italian dialect without crippling, it is clear that lack even the basics for innovation.
bigoted mentality which is discussed in the article is in fact the boss in Italy, a country where women are often still considered inferior to man, dove orientamenti sessuali e colore della pelle determinano le capacità e la qualità delle persone, dove tutto ciò che viene da fuori dei nostri confini viene visto con timore e con disprezzo.
Nonostante vi siano ogni tanto delle buone notizie che sembrano invertire questa tendenza (un esempio che balza alla mente è l’elezione di Emma Marcegaglia a presidente di Confindustria) temo che questo possa rimanere un caso isolato, una sorta di bella eccezione che conferma una triste regola.
L’amara conclusione è che il nostro paese continua a perdere giovani talenti che migrano all’estero e tende a produrne sempre di meno, ma una soluzione c’è e non è quella di accettare le cose così come stanno, bensì roll up their machines and work to create the conditions for the proliferation of genius and the creativity that marked Italic our nation.
Above all, unlike those who continue to argue that the Venetians are the engine of Italy, you must realize that we lost the train of innovation for a while and we must begin to walk with our legs because we are currently left foot. Jacopo
