Engineering Careers Short-Circuiting
8BitWimp writes "Today's edition of the Christian Science Monitor has an interesting article discussing the current plight of the U.S. engineering profession. One 29-year-old engineer recently caught in Nortel Network's layoffs said "I spent seven years in school, and it resulted in a six-year career." The article goes on to say a California computer science professor has statistics to show that a programmer's career is not much longer than a pro-football player. What do other Slash-Dot readers think of this situation as related to their programming and engineering careers? Would you pursue the same career path again?"
they probably hire you because they find your use of anachronistic terms like "cutting code" to be charming.
Racist? surely you jest???? H1B workers are not citizens of the united states... nobody owes them anything here. Nobody is being racist for... my god wanting wages from US companies and US jobs to go to US citizens! Send them back to where they came from! Now, if your h1b visa holding worker was smart enough to lay sally sue at the barn dance and swept her off to vegas to get married. More power to him, congrats he's a citizen! See how that works?
