I can tell you that Bryan is right. If STEM salaries were four or five times higher than they are now, we still wouldn't have recent graduates capable of doing the work.

It's not as if we are a nation filled with people who went to law school because they figured they could get paid more as lawyers than as engineers. Most of them went to law school because they were incapable of working in a STEM field.

I work in a STEM field. At the engineer level, we get a mix of people who are smart enough to do the work with a real desire to do it, but we also get the ones who are getting their ticket punched to get into management.

Below that level (the skilled technician levels), we get no one from the Millennial generation. The smart kids go to college and are too good to work with their hands, even though the pay is higher than that of a non-PE engineer. The dumber kids who can’t hack college certainly can’t handle a technical job.

I’m not being “anti-American” for being critical. The true anti-American is the person who will not permit criticism.

>>Shut the H-1B spigot off then salaries go up and STEM majors become real popular again. Your Anti American ignorance is why Trump is doing well. Go Trump, go!

You are right here. Shut off the H1-B spigot! We need people to see that a STEM degree for a white man is not a waste of time and money (as it is right now) and then we need to give them incentive to improve their STEM KSAs instead of working on their MBA as soon as they get their first job.

This will twist your shorts, central_va, but my views on this are why I AM supporting Trump. It’s not anti-American. It is pro-American.
