I don't see why so hard to understand the reason behind so many foreign companies treating Brazil just as a farm to acquire raw talent and ship to their american/european headquarters. Brazilian university culture is different, talent is developed differently and, due to our long historical backgrounds, the most brightest programmers don't necessarily have to come from top universities such as USP and UNICAMP.
As a USP dropout I can tell you: Brazilian universities have nothing to do with hacks. They are stuck in time and 'teach' you the 70's basics but you are discouraged to try new technologies and learn new things until you reach the last semester.
Couldn't agree more with you. That's specially why joining another course and just taking the cool stuff of the last semesters is the way to go.
