"“Now, you no longer see workers who aspire to rise to the top of the ladder and become president of a company,” "
Who would be such a dreamer in a country that puts hierarchy over actual skills, and where old men never leave the place to the young generation?

UK is in Europe. "I'm just saying the cream of the crop by western standards are in the US and UK, and that's the reality."
Not anymore. It really depends on the field actually. I don't know what's going on in the US but seems they are loosing there rank, universities are a business like another and the competition is fierce. Even Japanese are waking up.

"I was in the midst of a life-altering decision: I was about to make a potentially reckless career change by pursuing my childhood dream of going to graduate school in the States. And here’s this 50-something “oyaji” accusing my generation of being cowardly underachievers?"
