I started out majoring in Computer Science and got as far as Programming in C but then Congress increased H-1B visas and I said goodbye to it. They're encouraging Americans NOT to take Computer Engineering with these policies, but try to get them to understand that. They could care less.
Yep -- I am. I've not been laid off or anything or even fear being laid off (in fact, I'm actually up for a promotion). But it does bother me that our country is selling out to big businesses who are in search of cheap workers. I bring up this issue a lot because I'm just surprised at the lack of outrage at it. Our tax money is supporting a program that unemploys many Americans in the tech field.
Read another post I made today -- How to Tap India's Cheap IT Labor -- it's an article that appeared in CFO Magazine's website. To me, it's immoral that corporate America is handing Congress a lie about "this is not about lowering IT salaries" and then a financial trade mag pretty much admits that it is! It's insulting to the intelligence that there's a supposed shortage in the tech fields, layoffs are widespread in the tech fields, and yet companies lobby for MORE H-1B's in a recessionary period.
