Whenever I’m tempted to be angry about this sort of thing I just remind myself that I live in a country where school boards are starting to adopt policies based on the bizarre notion that expecting students to get the correct answers in math class is a form of “white supremacy.”

I’m probably not the only one with a background in corporate management who found that over time, more and more EDUCATED Americans are ‘effing unemployable.

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

F this BS. Americans would major in STEM IF H-1B was eliminated....

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.

Not the only one at all. The Unemployable Rate is close to 50% and government can only soak up so many of them.
