Knowledge in our country (essay)

I believe that wealth is in the brain, not in the bowels.

The problem is that we need to learn to value and sell our knowledge.

There have always been many "jack-of-all-trades" in our country, fairy tales have even been written about them. For example, take the same "Lefty" who shod a flea. He was very smart in his business, but apart from him, he knew little else.

In my opinion, the situation is exactly the same these days. Now there are a lot of craftsmen, but they work for pennies and it is unlikely that they will make their way up the career ladder. Many of these masters lack entrepreneurial skills, without which they will not be able to make their work profitable.

Young smart people are lured from our country to the West, who use their "head" to develop and improve the technologies of another country - our potential competitor. For example, in America, dozens of times more money is invested in scientific research than in Kasakhstan. What do you want after that?

Our country needs to develop the field of high-tech technologies and competently combine this with economic opportunities and skills. It is necessary to restore old enterprises, purchase new technical equipment and attract young specialists. I think that only then we will be able to reach a new level and understand how important it is to value knowledge and sell it if it is profitable for us.
