[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and finding a job.

That's all. Just needed to say it out loud. Thanks for listening.[/quote]

Don’t worry

Our gov has been expanding H1B and opt for 35 years , taking Jobs from our children to give to cheap foreign labor

Here's a clue: Many kids in the US do not want the H1B jobs held by the "foreigners" you use a scapegoat for your grievances.

A friend of mine moved to the US, first, on a J1 student visa and later held a job with H1B visa. He has an MD/PhD and made about 30k at his first job. With H1B he made around 45k.  He is likely now making a middle class salary for this area and it only took 25 years to make that happen.

I assure you that people in this country with MD/PhDs are not clamoring for these jobs. But, hey, don't worry. These jobs (medical research) are being eliminated now anyway. GL to you when your or someone you love needs cancer, diabetes treatments, etc.[/quote]

Well here’s the problem those jobs do not require a MD/PHD. Universities are pumping out a lot of STEM students, med school is extremely difficult to get into and those research jobs are in demand now. The same thing is happening in tech. It used to be that US IT candidates in the DMV only had MS centric skills, no C+, Python, JAVA or whatever. We hired H1Bs for programming, integration and web positions but now US schools are pumping out tons of potential employees with current skills.[/quote]

+1  a foreign trained md/phd is not the same as in the us. the foreign md is a 3-year bachelor's and the overseas phd is more like our master's in science with a thesis. [/quote]
