Why knock yourself out studying hard science and engineering for 5, 6, 7 years when so many of jobs go to communist Chinese, Indian, and other foreigners. Either by our “American” corporations exporting the jobs or importing the workers.

It is patently untrue that "all of the jobs" go to H1B foreigners. I was gainfully and happily employed in that industry for over 43 years. I retired because I'm tired. Now I am going to tech embedded computing in high school. I invented that particular class by myself by mentoring FIRST robotics.

The point is, an education is for your personal edification, not getting a job. Armed with drive and cunning, one can build a career of choice. I learned little in college that was applicable to my career: I grew in knowledge and experience through time.

The single biggest mistake people are making with their education is mistaking it for a trade school.
