I remember reading something that said Chinese kids are striving to be engineers while American kids just want to be influencers
Charles Barkley touched on this a few years ago. He went to schools to talk to kids, and was amazed when he asked a classroom of HS students what they wanted to do with their life. Google it. I just had a customer in my office the other day. Him and his wife were telling me about their adult kids. The daughter is accomplished, taking on roles they never saw coming. The 31 y/o son describes himself as the "stay at home child". They didn't seem to have a problem with that. It's a story is all too common these days.

Every year in May, youtube videos jump up with "man on the street" interviews with new college grads, being asked very basic questions. The results are depressing. If we purged our nation of every foreign born engineer, the shortage would be staggering. Same with doctors. Few want to put in the work these days. The ones that have the ability, and want to excel, are very few. We have raised a very spoiled generation. A couple of generations


This.

Our education system and culture to excel is well behind what it should be.

This is a corporate talking point. There are enough talented Americans to do these jobs.

It always will be as long as we rely on compulsory mass public education.

And we don't show any signs of ditching THAT any time soon. Parents would lose their free (taxpayer funded) babysitting.

Is that why the richest kids in India study at American universities?

You HAVE to be a boomer. I cant even bring myself to believe someone under 50 is this retarded.

You actually believe India and China have better universities than the US in terms of STEM?

Yet all of their elites flock here for some reason?

Do you have any brain at all?

How does America have the talent to fill the new TSMC factory in Arizona to build semi conductors when those jobs were all shipped overseas 20 years ago? You think people can just walk in off the streets and do it? The overreaction to the comments is crazy.
He said certain industries need to be have Americans trained. That is a result of tariffs bringing back industries that the us hasn’t had in decades. It is common sense.

High salaries". Youre just an anti-American scumbag that would sell out his neighbor for a few shekels. I genuinely hope your business fails and you go bankrupt and your life is ruined.


I employ over 30 state side employees. My dev team is off shore. You can name call all day. We aren’t talking a few shekels. A state side developer wants $130K a year. I can hire offshore for $60K to do the same work. If you have 15 team members that a frick tin for a small business.

The 11 H1Bs that replaced me would tend to make this false.

Pizza rolls? How old are you boomer? Pizza rolls are full of ebalming fluid injected by boomer businessmen to cut costs and boost boomer stock prices.

Boomers created the worst shite ever. I want to import more nursing home attendants from Haiti and Somalia. Youre going to need them.

They could give two shits as long as the work gets done and I don’t raise their prices by 20%.

I have news for you any tech software or tech gadget you use has offshore work done.

No boomer at all. I’m in my early 30s.

I’m referring to our high school system and how most Americans treat college. I have countless friends that spun their wheels in high school and college that haven’t amounted to what they could’ve achieved.

College is seen as a “party” for too many American citizens. High school and elementary school are a glorified daycare for millions of parents.

Ramaswamy made the same fatal mistake last year. You would think by now politicians would have learned.
