We need to look at what is keeping our local yokels from becoming IT experts well enough to not fade behind, or even not be able to leverage, H1B services.
A lot of the problem is something that STEM can’t address because it is a liberal arts kind of problem: general pessimism.
I work behind “enemy lines” (in scare quotes because H1B makes many things possible that wouldn’t be possible at all under current circumstances). I’m the cowboy in an office of thirty-odd Indians, so to speak, and we all get along fine. But their secret weapon is being open to optimism. I’ve been using that riff as a basis for sharing gospel with them, and they’ve been listening intently. There’s a point which pride can’t get you beyond, a point at which even karma fails to motivate. This is the point where grace begins to speak.
OK so why am I arming the enemy? Well actually no man should be our enemy. Our enemy is the demons of hell who hate everyone, no matter what color or creed.
Christians need to get serious about Christianity again. We can’t count on our Caesar to keep up that drumbeat at this point. We have to do it ourselves before the Lord in our churches and our personal interactions, or it just plain does not happen.
We have our esteemed corrupt leaders inviting H1Bs into the USA to take STEM jobs from Americans, not because they are better, but because they are cheaper. These same sold out Americans are then stuck paying their debt off to an overpaid academia while our traitors in DC sell or STEM workers out. This is a recipe for a declining USA.
We have permitted our nation to be hijacked by traitors who put the USA 2nd, third, or 4th instead of first.
“Christians need to get serious about Christianity again.”
You and I have clashed on a number of issues, but you will not hear an argument from me on this. A man I knew well, who evangelized everywhere he could, once told me that when America fails to send and support missionaries to the world with the Gospel, God would send foreigners here so they could hear the Gospel. I think you are experiencing that.
Also, I will take ten foreigners who truly love Christ and are obedient to the Bible for every one American who despises the priceless freedom our forefathers bought at great personal cost.
was just thinking that years ago, you could work in IT while you want to college for a STEM degree (or, not even get a STEM degree but still work in some part of IT) because companies were willing to train smart people.
I think those entry level jobs are gone and no one really learns IT from the ground up anymore. It’s really a pity. Lots of lost knowledge.
