Aeronautical University in Queretaro, Mexico

Would you go here? Would a lot of US citizens looking for good jobs?

The city of Querétaro, Mexico is a major industrial hub that builds cars, jets, etc. Honda, American Airlines, Bombardier, and Samsung are among the companies with factories there.

They city an aeronautical university to make sure there are enough knowledgeable workers for the industries. Another example that comes to mind in Central America is Costa Rica. I lived there in 2000 and remember Intel created a chip manufacturing plant there, saying that they chose Costa Rica because of its high levels of education compared to other Central American countries.

This promotional video gives an overview of the special university they created just for aeronautics training, so they have enough educated people to make planes.
