So you hire STEM workers based on English skills? Wait, what?

[redgolum]

Depends on the school.

However, a lot of the oversea students are worse. Most schools will give them great grades in order to keep the money train coming.

My alma Mater has a prof that I went through undergrad with in engineering. They said “We have to pass the kids, or face massive loss of revenue. So don’t hire anyone from X school from Y, they are incompetent”.

I have hired a few great young bloods, a handful of decent ones, and a bunch that aren’t worth the price of the diploma.

It is called supply and demand. Stopping the H-1B rape will cause the demand for domestic STEM majors go up, wages go up, students respond accordingly when choosing their majors. I am living proof of that.

Abso-freaking-lutely. Does that surprise you?

[Alberta's Child]

All good points. I’m a civil engineer, so we have professional licensing exams that really separate the wheat from the chaff.

[central_va]

None of your inane posts ever really surprises me.

[Alberta's Child]

I could offer entry-level engineers a starting salary of $500,000 ... and if they’ve gone through schools that teach the slop that has become commonplace in public education these days, it won’t do a damn bit of good.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. That’s the nicest thing you’ve said about me in years.

KochSuckers - bump for later....

So we may have a pipeline problem - but currently there is no shortage of competent STEM-trained Americans.

What bothered me most about recent U.S. graduates in my field wasn’t their technical skills; it was their disgracefully poor command of the English language.

Don't restrict yourself to recent grads.

For that money - or probably substantially less - you could get much more than entry-level experience and skills.

[redgolum]

I had an intern that was illiterate.

No joke. She could not read at a second grade level. Not an immigrant.

She also demanded to be paid for her time shopping for work clothes. We wore uniforms.

I can hardly wait for the “ban math” movement to spread beyond Oregon

[NobleFree]

I have to ask ... Amish?

[redgolum]

Nope.

But I get the point.

She was Caucasian

[TwelveOfTwenty]

So what's the point in buying American anymore? Just so they can replace us with cheap foreign labor.

I'm not giving up, but I'll buy from red states or US allies to the best of my ability now.

[dinodino]

Yes, absolutely. Proper written English is a hard requirement at my firm.

This is f-ing retarded. If the going rate for engineering grads was actually $500K the best and the brightest would go into it. Get it? Plus your main problem is you seem like a real d1ck. People can detect that. Nobody with a brain wants to work for d!ck. So keep on low balling....

[wgmalabama]

Drive all wages to 15 will be the outcome. Why study STEM if it’s going to pay 15. Might as well flip burgers.

Still telling your scummy lies, eh, creep?
