[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Its a mistake to believe that there are tons of science/math careers out there that need students that overachieved in those areas. The jobs in those fields are extremely small and for the most part they are not well paying. [/quote]

Wow, nothing could be farther from the truth. The top paying jobs are dominated by science and engineering. The skill shortage is so bad in this country that the HB-1 visa quota is filled in a days. It is crazy to keep focusing on skills that lead a zillion liberal arts and communication majors. [/quote]

What you are saying has no basis in reality.  If you work in a science field, jobs are concentrated in a handful of areas in the country.  The competition for those jobs is intense so there are very few openings.  I know plenty of PHD's doing the same job with the same salary as a person with a bachelors degree because there are simply not enough jobs to go around in the field.

Do you have any idea what they are paying these foreign post docs?  PEANUTS!  If it was true that Scientists made so much money and the demand for the jobs was so intense you would see Americans jump to get this type of degree but its not true.  Go to Washington post right now and search for jobs as a Scientist and see how many positions pop up.[/quote]
