"... but the long-term trend shows a mismatch between what students learn in school and the skills and knowledge businesses need. Colleges and universities need to better prepare our young people by closely linking future employment opportunities with their current fields of study. In addition, we need to have more vocational schools that can teach young people employable skills."
For example, we need a lot fewer Psych Majors and lot more Engineers. Psych majors have relatively high unemployment levels and we have to import a large percentage of our engineers and technical wizards. They are mostly good people but Americans could have those jobs if they were just willing to put in the effort.
Unfortunately they are not willing. I have slowly and reluctantly come to the conclusion that more than half of our American population is certifiable dumb. Not intelligent at all, no creative thinking, no entrepreneur thoughts just what can I get from you, me the government with the least amount of effort and then call you a chump.
I am throwing in the towel for supporting this country or its dumb ass citizens, if the powers that be will allow me to take my hard earned assests and move to another country.
Did you know that American is rated 26th in the world by the WHO for good medical care, found that out last night while debating once more how great our medical care is.
I know several maybe five or more people that have had serious life changing injuries from doctors and hospitals. One of my clients went in for knee surgery, got infected, doctor tried to fix it made it worse, his leg is now cut off! My other client had a simple swimmers ear surgery and the doctor nicked his ear drum, he had a stroke and now is deaf in one ear, has tinnitus for life and has now lost 16 years of work left in his career.
My son had his tendon in his left hand cut with broken glass and was rushed to the hospital in the Domincan Republic. A Cuban born hand surgeon was called in at midnight to operate on my 16 year old son, with the future of hand use weighing on my mind. We had a follow up visit with the surgeon before we left the country. He said get therapy when you get the bandages off. When the hand surgeons saw his hand and the work done and when the therapists saw it and moved it, both proclaimed it perfectly stitched and healed, did not need any more treatment, he has full use of his hand no trace of the injury. In a third world country no less!!!!!
We don't HAVE to import them.
We have plenty of engineers and technical wizards. But, they are being undercut by H1B visa holders and off-shoring.
