Not sure why everyone hates Elon right now… he is 💯 correct. I teach at college (computer science)… most people majoring in CS arent native born, and if they are , most are asian or indian… cyber security, there is around 2million vacant jobs in the US currently…. Same goes for engineering… if we are going to push the bounds of education in this country… we need to get Native born americans back to being passionate about math, science, and tech… native students are too soft and lack the grit to stick with it…
I can see from elon’s perspective… as a business owner, that works in high tech… if you need the man power to keep innovating, but you dont have enough pool to choose from… you will get it from elsewhere… otherwise your business fails…
Not saying all americans are like this, but the reality is, many are… and many high tech fields dont have enough bodies to fill all positions… couple that with genZ being fired at alarming rates because they have a shit work ethic… yeah, thats where we are at!!!
If you're really a teach, you'll remember not even 5-10 years ago the market for IT across the board plummeted, mainly because H1B became so enticing to companies, which is what the dad was referring to. The market for Americans working in IT disappeared, not the interest in working for it. I experienced too, being fully qualified and HR being very optimistic about my employment, and then an H1B takes the job, because he will do it for $10/hr. I know this because I watched a finance company almost go bankrupt over hiring them when I was systems support there, because they were idiots and didn't know shit. AI and COVID forced a lot of people out of work that already had experience (me for example), and then the pay dropped dramatically. That's pretty degrading and defeating, since it seems you have never experienced that. I haven't been able to get a job in 4 years doing what I loved to do. It's completely gone.
No one wants to code anymore, it's gay as fuck. Plus they are extremely overworked and there's no sense of accomplishment. AI will delete that job soon too.
