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.
No, the fault lies in our dysfunctional public school system. When kids get to college, they are well s hooled in PC crap, but can’t add two 3-digit numbers without a calculator. Look at the high school test questions from 70 years ago, compare them to today. Engineering college can’t (and shouldn’t) correct that, so instead everyone does homework together, basically cheat, and graduates are truly not well qualified. Not all, just lots.
Kids educated overseas can usually add numbers in their heads—in my experience. And I’m the kind of manager to give a candidate such a question. “Without a calculator, what’s 73 plus 68?”
They are better educated, hungrier, can think and function as a mature adult. In other words, well educated, mature, and low maintenance. And yes, ask for less. But get the same pay—HR everywhere long ago established salary scales universally used.
It sux but that’s the lay of the land. Thank a lib. Just my experience, and I could be wrong.
