When an H-1 visa engineer that is just as capable as a USA born
engineer will work for $60k, you think we can compete in the
world market?

If we had our **** together and did a decent job of educating our kids,
we
could be pumping out labor ready technical folks who'd be damned
pleased
to
make $40 to $60K a year. We haven't made the investment in our own
educational infrastructure, India obviously has.

It's just another example of how we've ceded our competitive edge to
others -- in an industry we invented.

Stupid.

You call me stupid? Read your statement and then go look in the mirror.
We
seem to have non labor ready carpenters that require 80k a year,
longshoreman that require 100k+ and you think a college educated, labor
ready person will want to work for 40-60K?



It's your own fault you made the wrong career choices.



Your reply shows how much out of touch with reality you are. Explain how we
are to compete in the world market, given our labor costs.
