You're talking to a former WSU/VA research employee. You're also talking to one who previously worked for a business and economic development center when he was an undergrad. If you really want to debate the economic state of Michigan when it comes to science education, I'm more than happy to call one of my former coworkers and get the actual numbers for you rather than just assuming that your observations are correct.
That's the key phrase right there. If you're not going on for graduate work, you're not going to get in the door at most labs and if you do, you're relegated to the bottom rungs of the lab. That's what I am getting at. There's a difference between getting a job with a bachelors and getting a job while you're a grad student.
Pot, meet kettle. Unless you have a degree in economics or business that you've not mentioned, you're just as much of a "know-it-all personality" as you "defend" your stance by attacking those who dissent from your view of things as being. You're giving your own personal assessment of the area based on "Well, we have a lot of med schools around here".
Got any hard data to back up your contentions? If not, then you're just as much a blowhard as you accuse those who disagree with you of being because being a paramedic instructor really equips one to judge this sort of thing. I may not be an economist, but I worked in the area and in the field you're trying to tell me I don't know about.
By the way, there are seven medical schools in the region if you want to set it as being a 100 mile "as the crow flies" radius of Detroit:
1-U of M
2-Wayne State
3-Oakland
4-MSU Osteopathic
5-MSU Allopathic
6-University of Toledo
7-University of Western Ontario
