I work with some top engineers, and have hired plenty over the years. Rubio is correct. Our schools are graduating morons. Senior managers older than 40 or so will tell you the same thing. It’s common knowledge.
They have no logic skills and can’t reason. They can’t take a real life hard problem and find a solution on their own. You have to show them microstep by microstep, and it still doesn’t help much. They don’t work hard, but text and check facebook constantly. And always have an earbud in—playing their tunes. Even during meetings.
Our schools have given us a crop of idiots with engineering degrees. They suck. It is simply true that foreign stem professionals are, in general, brighter, harder working, and much more emotionally mature. At any price.
And I am an engineer, graduated long ago. I’ve worked with some of the inventors of the MRI at Hopkins, and developed an artificial heart-pump that is keeping people alive right this second. I know what I’m talking about. Our native engineering graduates suck compared to 20 years ago.
Well, your analysis refutes all of us who thought the native American workers were being given the shaft in the H1B program. So it really is the “dumb” Americans’ fault? And we can have no hope for dumb Americans making good voting choices.
