The NEA wants more money from all of us to continue cranking out dysfunctional idiots who can tell you all day about every social ill imposed on the world by the good people of this country, but they can't write a line of code, a business letter, or even a resume.

Please tell us where the candidates that you interviewed for your software positions went to school. What kind of positions were they? Did you interview people just out of college? How did you tell that they couldn't write a line of code?

its the same thing I see all the time at work (and I am guessing you do also). The US managers have contempt for the skills of any "inexperienced" entry level americans, but run blindly and embrace offshore workers they have never seen and know nothing about.
