CS Prof Decries America's 'Internal Brain Drain'

walterbyrd writes "Dr. Norman Matloff of the University of California-Davis computer science department argues that US citizens are avoiding 'Science Technology Engineering Math' (STEM) careers, because US citizens see those fields as being ruined by massive offshoring and inshoring. 'Despite widely publicized claims that foreign tech workers and scientists represent exceptional ability and are thus vital to American innovation, Matloff called that argument merely "a good sound byte for lobbyists" supporting industry proposals for higher visa caps. The data (PDF), on the other hand, indicate that those admitted are no more able, productive, or innovative than America's homegrown talent, he said.'"

and you would be closer. Yeah its not fun but many of use do cross forty regularly. Then after a few years these who do their best to not cross forty bitch that they aren't getting anywhere or getting good money and think its unfair I do. Nothing anyone can do can convince them of what the difference was because they don't want to hear it.

ESPN, NCAA, and Dancing with the Stars, are areas where most excel, ask them about yesterday's meeting and they would know less that what happened three weeks ago on American Idol
