Check out this little gem from the article:

“Education and work exist in two alternative worlds that don’t really connect,” Gomez said. “While in other nations, like the U.S., college education is designed to get you a job, that’s not the case in Spain.”

This may be a case of "the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill."

Greener but not false. There is a reason why a US education is highly valued by exceptional international students and by multinational companies.
corporate you mean, most startups and valued tech companies don't give any credit to formal education, and the real balance is moved by experience, seconded only by cultural fit.
