[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big MAGA talking point is that foreigners are taking US jobs. It's true - you try getting a job in the Silicon Valley. That is where I'm from, my family lived there until recently but it is literally impossible to compete with H1B visa holders - and now their kids and friends. Even in areas that you don't need tech skills - like marketing - you can't compete. And then competing with foreign students to get into college - there are less spaces for Americans, so there is less opportunity for them and it's a downward spiral.

The universities don't need billions saved in endowments. They can afford to not take foreign money from students. [/quote]

The reality is you are correct “you can’t compete” because you are not as qualified and you are being out-worked and out-studied by non-US students.  We have a whole generation of slackers who would rather get a no value added job at McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, et al rather than study physics and advanced math so that we, the United States, remain #1 in AI and are first to nail quantum computing.  Instead, Trump is lowering standards and putting up artificial protection barriers to ensure slackers can make a living.  We will suffer for decades because we are globally uncompetitive. [/quote]
+1. The most popular major  in the US is business.  Look at this forum and how so many parents want their kids to go to Harvard or some other top tier so that they can make connections with wealthy people to get a job on wall street.  [/quote]
