| Did it never occur to the author of this article that no one in their right mind would invest four years and tens of grand in an education with no future earnings potential or career path? How can we find Americans who will train in Comp Sci when a hundred thousand second worlders can be whistled up at any time to replace said Americans six to eight years out of school (when they become more expensive than said second worlders)?
If the government wanted actual American born type citizens to do this work, it can simply refuse to ever issue a special visa for an alien expert. The computer industry will then have to suck it up, and start to pay competitive wages for experienced administrators and operators again; at which point the Americans who left the field or who would never now enter it in the first place will appear to take these jobs.
My apologies that this isn't really a Peacetime Operations subject; but you don't have an Information Warfare board, and this seemed the closest. |
