THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY

The Internet and IT revolution has been an American contribution to the world. From IBM and Mainframe computing, evolution of the UNIX operating system, Relational Databases, Desktop computing and Java.

Every single one of them is an American invention, born, bred and nurtured here in the USA

Sadly, we will never see such a revolution in technology anymore. Never, ever again.

Anerican students no longer want to pursue higher education in the sciences, notably computer science.
There's simply no financial future in an IT career.

Salaries are cheap, capped and pressured down by Indian H-1Bs. There's absolutely no career path.


Which parent would spend 200,000 for a 4-year CS degree so their kid could toil 60-hour weeks for 60,000 per year ?

Indian students complete a CS degree (if you can call those paper mills a university or a college) for $600 (with living expenses to included !!)

They make excellent ROI coming here on an H-1B for $48,000 per annum.

Fewer students enrolled in undergraduate courses simply means, much fewer post-graduate students, which trickles to even fewer PhD candidates.

Which will snowball to an understaffed and underpaid faculty.

Even if it's cheaper to get an Indian H-1B.

What are you people doing to this country ?
What are you leaving our children with ?

Think about it !!
