You are correct? 100k is ridiculous! My significant other is a world renowned Shakespearean phd English professor at a University in the south. She speaks 8 languages, is from India, has studied all around the world and got her PHD from Loyola in Chicago. She is in charge of the international students and leads them on literary tours to Europe every year. She doesn’t make 100k.
Her nephew is a brilliant college student getting a masters currently at Georgia Tech in industrial design. That is one tough program to get into and there is a massive shortage in that field. If he can’t get an entry level job at 100k he should be kicked out of the country?
In aviation, America is facing the largest pilot shortage in history. Yet we train 90% of the pilots in the world. So if those new pilots can’t get an entry level job for 100k they should be banished? While US airlines go out of business because they can’t hire pilots?
There is a shortage of skilled labor in America. Our education system is failing us. 100k is a stupid requirement. Fix the abuse. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!

If he is an Indian citizen, yes. I will gladly drive him to the airport no charge.

Good point. There is a skilled labor shortage and also from what I see (anecdotally) a work ethic issue. When I went back to get another degree, I was amazed at how little college students do for work and how much they expect grade-wise for that work. At the end of semester, I walked with a professor who said that compared to twenty years ago, student's classroom conduct and work product has declined.
