First let’s send all our lawyers overseas.
My brother just shrugged. He is, after all, a barking moonbat.
A lot of the seemingly low pay overseas is due to mispriced currency. Guys in India making $50K can live as well as they can in California on 100K. Housing in India is high if you have to buy, but the rents are amazing cheap. You can get a nice two-bedroom apartment for $200 a month.
That is not true. MBA programs are still placing the majority of their students.
Its a wakeup call for liberal arts students. They are unemployable.
Hard science? That is bull. Our better universities are producing excellent students. Perhaps Ohio State University isn’t, it that twit’s opinion, ...
BUT the real problem with US students is their lack of work ethic. They are, for the most part, lazy and think they are entitled to employment and not having to work.
Obama is making it worse. Its ALL about entitlements and being lazy. Now he wants all these losers who can’t get into college now to get financial aid to jam our universities with even more stupid and lazy students.
Would Obama have actually gotten into Columbia, Harvard (or even Occidental) on his own merits? Probably not.
The degrees most blacks get are not worth the ink they are printed with.
It's like hiring someone with an honorary doctorate to run your science lab.
I want a burger alarm company..!!
Bingo!!!!
Having shared courses with people of all races, I disagree with your race-based conclusions.

you read the comments
They are fortunate that people doing the hiring and firing don't hold your view.
I agree. Further, the type of ‘reform’ that Obama wants to force on health care will lead to a reduction in incentive for drug development in the US, and commensurately the incentive to pursue careers in science will also diminish.
We shouldn't be looking for ways to convince people to live overseas. We should be looking for ways to kick the rear ends of these other countries economically. Of course, at the same time that we need more incentive in our system to encourage risk taking and hard work, the Obama administration and his liberal fans are taking away incentive by punishing the successful.
And liberals think they are smart. Go figure.
Nobody who gets an engineering degree (and the same could said about a host of other degrees from Sciences, Math, Finance, etc) from a reputable college is lazy. They would done in by Freshman Calculus, Chemistry, and/or Physics.
You need to look no further than what the makeup of majors looks like from a typical U.S. University as opposed to one in India. I don’t think they even have Liberal Arts departments. On U.S. campuses the hard (vocational type) degrees are in the minority.
I wouldn’t want to undermine my conservative cred, but... money isn’t everything. I have two kids, one a few years out of a great Liberal Arts college with a degree in English Lit who’s working for a big company with a mouse for a logo doing on line “game and community management editorial”, whatever the hell that is. (She has several IT degree holders under her.) My son is almost finished at a great books college, St. John’s. I trust he’ll find a way to make enough money to support the life he wants to live which, at this point, seems to be a life of the mind.
LSIT here, subdivision and other boundary work (my specialty) is down but there is always a need for quality as-builts and staking. I went to a community college 2 year civil program and received and education qualifying me for numerous jobs including inspection, QC, and even construction engineer positions without necessarily moving. All for about 2-5% of what these degrees cost. A piece of paper isn’t necessarily worth much in the real world...JFK
Well, I hire and fire. And I have 44 years of work experience. I have seen MBAs get in my field and have absolutely no practical experience.
In other areas not as specialized as mine, there may be more mileage from advanced degrees.

You have "cheap" confused with "hard working" and "dedicated". The actual term that sums it all up is "hungry", which means they want more challenges, not less.
Too many Americans feel a sense of entitlement.
They would have be better off having a technical undergrad degree with an MBA.
