Valid points from your side. Yes, my opinion is based on magazine reports.
He may finally settle down in US. All his cousins are American Citizens. My Sister is American and her kids have gone to good schools and have recently taken up jobs in San Fran an NY. But they are all in IT. My son wants to pursue traditional Mechanical.
Initially he may go for higher studies and later see what to do.
He can do well in studies but we don t know how he manages in US universities. Difficult to say. He got 1500 in his first attempt at SAT but that is just basic math and English. University is different and we don’t know how he manages in college life.
The points raised by you will defintly help me to decide.
