So based on this “list” it’s obvious that that these career counselors FULLY ENDORSE that Engineering and Scientific talent should be imported from India. I didn’t see where American STEM was being recommended.
Career Counslors and their Corrupt Education system - SPIT!!!!
They advise students to pursue those silly careers listed there for two reasons:
1. They are ideal careers for people who have been infantilized in school.
2. These are the career paths most high school counselors come from.
I taught “Embedded Computing” in high school for three years. All of those students, the ones who participated, went to an engineering school. Georgia Tech and MIT gathered a number of my students.
Granted, Engineering and Scientific is a more elite field, but also typically missing are occupations "blue collar" trades as mechanics, even though that can save 10s of thousands of college debt and ensure employment.
As regards the M1-B controversy, a US resident should be employed above foreign of the same ability, but that choice is likely often made based upon expected salary.
Americans just are too stupid and too lazy for STEM careers.
I shunned the "counselors" at school. My father offered much better advice. It was a good path that had me graduating from high school at 16, UCSD at 19. I turned 20 just a couple weeks before starting grad school in Microbiology. That year was a big turn around. I decided to shift to CS/EE. More interesting. Less smelly labs. Better pay. That was early 1977. The bookstores offered adequate material.
Exactly! Now everyone let’s hear what an idiot musk is.
No, because this list is coming from “AI”. Which probably has no data at all on guidance counselors actually say. But the word “counselor” was in the question it was asked, so it used it, a lot. Cause AI ain’t intelligent, it just spits words around.
