한때 꿈의 유학지였는데.." 한국인 95%가 실패하는 미국 유학의 몰락, 그 진짜 이유

At one time, graduating from a prestigious American university was enough to guarantee one's future. However, that formula has now been shattered. The number of South Korean students studying in the U.S., which exceeded 73,000 in 2010, plummeted to the 42,000 range by 2024. That is a drop of a staggering 42 percent. Yet, during the same period, the number of students from India actually swelled to 360,000, rising to the top spot. Why is South Korea pulling out while India is flocking to study abroad in the U.S., even though it is the same path? This video traces the fact that the true downfall of studying in the U.S. begins not at 'admission,' but 'after graduation,' using four 'revolving doors' from the perspective of a head of household's wallet. The First Revolving Door — The Entrance Where 500 Million Won Evaporates (Tuition, High Exchange Rates, Medical Expenses) The Second Revolving Door — Entry-Level Jobs Erased by AI (Entry-Tech Hiring: -73.4 Percent) The Third Revolving Door — Lotteries and 150 Million Won Tolls (H1B Selection Rate: 35 Percent, Controversy Over New Hire Fees) The Fourth Revolving Door — No Places Even Upon Returning to Korea (Unemployment Rate for New PhDs: 27.7 Percent) And the structural truths hidden behind them, extending to polarization (the "dumbbell market") and the "prisoner market." We will examine together to the very end what is truly gained by burning 500 million won. ※ All figures in this video are based on credible sources such as IIE Open Doors 2025, USCIS, U.S. Labor Statistics, and KRIVET 2024, reflecting the latest information as of June 2026. Legal matters currently in progress, such as H1B new hire fees and regulations on the duration of stay, are treated as ongoing issues rather than established systems. If you were in my shoes, would you bet 500 million won on studying in the U.S., or would you choose a different path?
