I came across a blog:
Is H1B Policy to Blame for Shortage of U.S.-born Technology Graduates?
Is H1B Policy to Blame for Shortage of U.S.-born Technology Graduates? (http://www.information-management.com/news/technology_graduates-10016453-1.html)
I was feeling stupid while reading it.
- 28% of MLB players are foreign (Percentage of foreign-born MLB players drops from 29.0 to 28.0 - MLB - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3324312))
- 3% of players in NFL are foreign born (wikipedia)
- 10 to 20% of players in NBA are foreign born (wikipedia)
Does this mean that american kids don't pursue these as careers? They overwhelmingly do.
And are you trying to sell this argument when only LESS THAN 1% of american workforce is H1B... ? How can you make them responsible if the kids want to pursue more lucrative careers like lawyers, finance brokers, hedge funds, money managers, sports or give priority to date/prom in the days they should focus for math/science/engineering courses? Even the technology people entering in the field want to pursue MBA as soon as possible to become managers by eliminating the hard path of being technical expert by learning new technologies, coding in tight deadlines or any other similar steps?
The blogger who emailed the author must be from the same set of finite people who work full-time for some organization whose main task is to google for keywords like H1b etc - go to that website and flood them with messages to look like a majority.
