[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that it has worse unemployment than liberal arts majors for sure. Those with liberal arts majors are more adaptable and willing to explore a variety of jobs. Those with a CS degree are not willing to "lower" themselves to jobs outside of that field.

Also, I know the software company my brother works for just outsourced and hired a bunch of H1B workers. That was their compromise to save money because the economy is so terrible right now. [/quote]

They usually don’t have EQ or social skills [/quote]

Indian universities also don't teach writing the same way American universities do. Engineers who can't communicate meaningfully are fine for simple tasks but nobody's building next gen software with them.[/quote]

The luxury building I live in Manhattan has many Indian families living here. Some are from IITs and working at hedge funds. Most are sending their kids to top private schools. We have friends paying $30k per month in rent and the condos are greater that $4 million. I know because we are one such family and both my husband and I came here as grad students. Our education was practically free in India, we got MBAs from top 3 business schools. We are engineers who are doing more than fine. [/quote]

Contention: Indian educated engineers are bad at writing and H1Bs don't tend to work on ground breaking software.

Counterargument: I'm rich binch and so are my friends.
