In fact we studied how the Japanese were studying us at that time.  We knew they were coming. |
@Vjo The education industry lied to my generation. They told us that an engineering degree is the key to open doors to opportunity. The only doors it opened for me were the double doors at Wal-mart. It will be my generation to fight (literally) for the right to survive.

Actually, we're not allowing them to stay in the US to protect American jobs. IMO in most cases it's a mood point because most of the countries they go back to won't allow them to utilize this education freely because it can/causes a power/financial struggle. |
@Jesus H Christ I've worked in facilities where I was one of the few Americans. All the rest were cheap H1B laborers brought in from across the world. We're fucked from both sides, from overseas competition and H1B workers brought over here.
