I wish we could just go back to schools being for people who want to learn about things, and putting employers back in charge of training their work force. Subsidizing a fucking intermediary to provide the basic ticket into the work force...who the fuck came up with that idea?
the problem is employers dont train employees anymore, so they look at "2+years experience required as a first start"
I gotta say, part of that is work visa programs. A very common path I’ve seen is someone getting their college degree in their country, do a couple years work to get sponsored by one of the outsourcing companies, then take a masters degree in the us, so they can enter the country on a student visa and have a head start looking for a job. Now they are looking for a starting job but have a couple years experience and a masters degree.
I can’t fault anyone who takes that path: it seems very successful. But it causes imbalances that don’t work for the rest of us
yea citizens are pretty screwed, as thier job listings almost always is framed in a way to only select from h1-b visa applicants, im betting they are willing to accept one that is lower in the skill setting than what the job listing is claiming they require if they sought visa holders. I think its just to show non-discriminatory praticies.
