The US is very short on skilled labour. I do oilfield electrical and automation, and I’m in high demand.
It seems everyone wants to go to college or university and be a lawyer or some other white collar work and nobody wants to turn tools.
The high wages you make are an enticement to go into that field. It is all supply and demand. I want the DOMESTIC labor supply to dictate wages, not plane full of immigrants form the 3rd world.
