Andy Grove is the personification of an immigrant who came to America as a young man, took advantage of the opportunities here, and made good - really, really good.
Grove immigrated to the U.S., escaping the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, when he was 20 years old. He earned both a BS and PhD in chemical engineering and became only the third employee at the newly-formed Intel Corporation. He took over as the company's president in 1979, its CEO in 1987, and its Chairman and CEO in 1997.
This is a man who knows whereof he speaks when it comes to high tech, company start-up, and growing the company into a multi-national corporation.
Grove has written an article for Bloomberg news that everyone at Daily Kos should read, How to Make an American Job Before It's Too Late. For that matter, everyone in the country who is concerned with where the Jobs, Jobs, Jobs are going to come from - especially those in a leadership position, from mayors to the President of the United States - should read, ponder and discuss this article.
