schestowitz[TR2]"It's really simple - most foreign universities (apart from ones in Europe) have nothing much to offer whether it is their curriculum or the ability to offer their graduates the opportunity for good and steady employment after graduation. Foreign students have recognized this and have taken advantage of this trend for decades; Free scholarships were given many who applied for admission and jobs were plentiful. But no more - at Sep 11 19:39
schestowitz[TR2]some point the music stops and the party ends. You can't get something for nothing forever. With the current Trump administration, there appears to be no intention of kicking the can down the road, particularly as regards jobs. If you cannot pay the full tuition and room and board at a US University, it's time to stay in your country. There are more than enough unemployed Americans and you just have to see the news to know thatSep 11 19:39

schestowitz[TR2]It is interesting the volume of foreign students that attend our universities for computer science and then later erode US employee job opportunities. Why do they come over here so much to attend college either in person or online? What is wrong with their own colleges in their home country?Sep 11 19:39

schestowitz[TR2]I'm afraid that putting tariffs on outsourcing jobs from the US, does not ensure that jobs come back to the US. Salesforce job cuts was AI not outsourcing.Sep 11 19:39
schestowitz[TR2]I 100% agree H1B is flawed, and abused and needs to be cut down drastically, but as farmers are finding out, putting tariffs on other countries does not mean it improves your current situation. All that happens is the multi-national companies (who is only who Trump cares about) find other ways to make the savings, and your still not going to get your job back, nor are those jobs coming back any time soonSep 11 19:39
