Take your tech recession and stuff it

Why should American schoolkids bother to become high-tech desirable...: ...when the best they can expect out of 5 or 6 years of school is <$45k? No wonder there's a shortage. We're doing the same thing to our tech industry that Britain has done to its medical service; relatively few indigenous citizens bother to consider becoming doctors it because it?s not worth the low pay and trouble. So they have to import all their talent.

This supposed shortage of talent that all of these tech CEOs bemoan is literally their own creation via the H-1b situation. It?s not about talent, but importing cheap alternate labor. It doesn?t matter that they?re only 3/4th as efficient, because they only cost ? as much. To complain that there isn?t enough indigenous talent available is simply either ignorant, or dishonest. Since most of these people didn?t achieve their positions by being so ignorant, I just have to assume dishonesty.; Posted by: JohnMcGrew@...
