Of all the problems that Louisiana has, I'm convinced that #1 is Brain Drain. Folks get a degree and bail. It’s a cycle. Uneducated workforce doesn’t attract investment, the educated workforce leaves.

It was a big topic when I was at LSU in the 90s so obviously they haven't figured it out yet

Brain Drain isn't a problem, it's a symptom.

This is the plight of Stephen Waguespack in the LA governor's race. We definitely need pro-business leadership to keep AND attract talent. We can deal with our poor/uneducated citizens if we add a lot more functioning members to our pool.

My wife and I stayed for awhile, it’s not even the brain drain it’s just even when you try and stay everything is so needlessly hard for seemingly no other reason that engrained corruption.

In BR in particular nothing ever gets better, it just continues to trend worse and worse and people accept it for the dumbest reasons.

The day you leave is like a weight is lifted off of you and you question why it took you so long to just do it.

We don't have the infrastructure for real economic growth, so the educated go where there are economic opportunities.

The underlying issue is our population, which destroys everything.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: too many blue-collar workers and not enough college-educated STEM and healthcare workers. That's why louisiana wil never have an economic boom. A massive component of the culture in south louisiana involves excessive partying, which says alot about their values and morals regarding education and such. I know because I have family there and while they're good people, they party way too much and sell their souls to LSU sports because there's nothing else to do there.
