That’s why I’m steering my kids away from STEM. I can already see exactly what’s happening, wages are being depressed and it is hyper competitive. Fucking sanjay comes here with his bought and paid for “engineering” degree and is willing to work for $20/hr. It’s fucking bullshit.
White Male Millennial Engineer here, what you say is absolutely correct. While I have a job available to US citizens only, I have "STEM" friends in other sectors of the economy report that Indians are taking their jobs or providing unreasonable competition. And, being a landlord, I have rented one of my properties to an Indian in STEM and despite having several years of experience, he's making less than I did as an zero-experience engineer >10 years ago. These foreigners are absolutely depressing the wages of native STEM persons.
Edit: my side hustle is handyman activities, Sanjay pays out the nose for those. I'm going to encourage my daughter to get involved in blue collar trades.
Modern-day indentured servitude.
That’s exactly what it is while also having the effect of keeping wages in the shitter for Americans and putting them on the street.
Highly educated engineers that have to drive Uber as a second job to pay the bills.
It’s disgusting.
