Parents, when your child comes to you and wants to major in something that gives them a “Bachelor of Arts” degree, look at it long and hard before shelling out the money!! I’m not saying all of these degrees are BS, but a lot of them are!!! You might get a good education on a subject, but you won’t be acquiring a skill that is in demand in the work force. Let’s face it, the days when you went to college to “broaden your mind” with a liberal arts education are long gone. Study latin on your own time and get a degree in one of the sciences.
There’s a reason that all of these tech companies are crying for loosening restrictions on H1B visas. It’s because we don’t have enough qualified applicants filling these high tech jobs here in America! It has nothing to do with “slave labor” or driving wages down. It is very expensive to sponsor someone coming over here on H1B visas and this is America. You can sign them to a contract for several years, but you don’t own them for life.
Don’t look to the computer industry either. It’s cheaper for the companies to offshore the work (wages far below 50% and none of the Obamacare or other requirements).
However, people always need a haircut.
It’s NOT just “not enough available hands” that leads to the H1B visas.
BS.
They’re playing games with the term ‘qualified’ in order to get more foreign workers. H1B doncha’ know.
They make citizens train their foreign REPLACEMENTS, before the AMERICANS are fired.
The EMPLOYERS get cheaper workers.
The DEMOCRATS get more voters.
The AMERICANS get screwed—ESPECIALLY TAXPAYERS.
What’s not to love??
