And the pundits wonder why Trump is so popular ...
Our colleges should stop socializing their students like children and start training them like adults so they’re actually prepared for the workplace.
Quicken founder Dan Gilbert is a pretty liberal guy but even he has complained that he gets all kinds of new employees with great degrees who have no actual knowledge or interest in doing the job. Gilbert is the kind of guy who puts a game room and basketball court in his offices yet still has employees who take off for 3 or 4 days to go to comic con without notice.
Take it from me, a white Christian American male with 20+ years of IT experience, if you want to make it in American IT, you have to bring a marketable skill to the table. Having a BS in Computer Science doesn’t get you in the door, because you’re a commodity (a programmer) whose salary can buy 2-4 Indians to do the same job around the clock.
I have a BS in English, a Masters certification in professional writing, and several industry certifications. If you think a degree in a STEM field will be a guarantee, you’re sorely mistaken.
Sadly, the American media isn’t discussing this honestly, and most kids in school now are going to be shocked to learn they won’t find work out of college unless they want to prostrate themselves on the altar of retail sales or customer service. Further, they’ll bitch to their friends and coworkers, and it’ll be the “Evil American businessmen” who are at fault; nevermind the fact that the American government is laughing all the way to the bank.
Ping.
The “H-1B 65,000 Quota” number is everywhere, but that is completely misleading.
That's the yearly quota.
But the H-1B is automatically renewable for six years!
And, there is an additional 20,000 annual quota for PhD STEMs.
And, there is no H-1B quota at all for universities, government agencies, and nonprofit laboratories.
The lowest total estimate for H-1Bs currently working in the USA is 550,000.
The lowest total estimate for OPT “students” currently working in the USA is more than 100,000 - and that number, which has no quota, is now rising at 30% per year.
Just as important as the raw numbers is the quality of these foreign workers.
They are NOT elite scientists and engineers.
They are completely “average” scientists and engineers who compete directly against “average” American scientists and engineers.
My advice to 18 year old Americans just starting college: unless you have elite skills, do not even THINK about majoring in science and engineering.
Major in business management, or finance, or an area where your English language skills, interpersonal skills, and cultural knowledge of America give you a clear advantage over the foreign imports.

This 2007 video shows the conspiracy that contributed to the mass unemployment of millions falling out of the workforce.
Forbes on Fox and Cavuto show kept repeating: “talent shortage” in America....got to bring in outside help. American should be offended.
Fixed.
Why do you hate Capitalism? /s
Why do American tech companies want to do this to Americans? Are they nuts? Companies are not allowed to discriminate in employment with a detailed plan to shut out Americans from employment.
The DOD and the rest of the country needs top notch American tech people. Why be dependent upon foreigners for such an important skill and industry? This will put China and Japan and others at the cutting edge of future tech development and leave the US with nothing. Our economy will be permanently crippled by this treason into the future. They are doing it on purpose. They must hate the US.
