Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
"But how many had this before they started working for the company? Generally speaking the typical route that most people take when working on a H-1B is to come to the US with a BS degree from a relatively unknown university from their country. AFTER landing a H-1B job they then go on to pursue a masters degree which is needed for later mobility (once they get their Green Card)." Ridiculous. I know 20 people from India who work at Qualcomm. Every one of them came to the US to pursue a Master's or a PhD degree. Every one of them has at least one publication in a peer-reviewed top quality journal. I agree that there are vile elements in India who bypass the rigorous steps me and some of my compatriots have taken, however, the stupid generalization you make goes to show how misinformed you are about the reality. I am sorry to destroy your bubble but here's the reality: The US doesn't graduate enough Americans with advanced STEM degrees. It NEEDS Indians and Chinese nationals to keep it's industry standards afloat. If American's see the need to compete with Asians for high-tech jobs, they must stop whining and really do their Math, figuratively and literally.— March 16, 2014 10:47 a.m.
