Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

J3jmq8K-2ftb So if Americans are opting out than no harm and no foul that foreigners take both the low paid graduated / PhD spot and the majority of the openings that only want PhD.

Better argue with the companies that think a PhD is required to dispo a SPC chart 7x24 or other mindless activity Intel wants most of them to do, they don't need a PHD they need most a BS for the most part.

@2ymd I agree with most. But it has to do with money. Undergrad education on average is thousands of times more expensive than anywhere in the world. Foreigners come debt free in a vas t minority. Rising tuition is a major disadvantage to US students. By the time they graduate from a PHD they already have a family or planning one and they already list years of making real money. College debt and grad student salaries in STEM don't mix quite well.

: @J3jmq8K-2gbr I screened and hired a LOT of RCGs at Intel. Let me tell you the fastest hire is an AMERICAN ( greencard or US Citizen ), we hiring managers both at Intel and other tech companies are like flies on $hit for that kind of candidate. Sadly there aren't very many of them, the ones I find are actually for the most part above 70% of the Indian and Chinese I have screened. So if you are an American feel proud, the few Americans coming out of US Graduate School are on average much better than the average foreigner, I'm not talking language, I'm talking cognitive skills that is most important.

Takes a very different kind of mindset to be an "American" to work hard in STEM in grade/HS/Undergraduate and go to Graduate school for 4-6 years, Americans for the most part even the Indian and Chinese ones, by third generation become lazy just like the white ones.

Has nothing to do with money. US still the land of opportunity, work hard and you get ahead, that is why immigrants still wan to come, close off visa and immigrants and you sentence American to look like Japan or most of Europe becoming static old money but no innovation.

@2epg just go to NASA or any government research institution to debunk your myth. It costs a lot of money and effort to get an education from an accredited college in the US. American hater.

US citizens are for the most part BSers and can't hold a light to the much more educated foreigners who studied far harder and have far better fundamental skills. Starting from the fact most can speak more than one pucking language. Americans are so narrow and small minded thinking they don't deserve the best jobs in their one country because of their laziness and stupidity. Just look at who we have to choose from for president shows how sad this country is, look at hose proud Americans we can select to lead this sorry a$$ country coward, but just like BK lying idoits

This data is very outdated so not sure why it's even going around. Just from 2010 and to earlier this year, Intel has requested for 11,600 visas.

It's not the number, that's fine if there is really shortage.....it's the fact that US citizens are being replaced by H1B breaking immigration law.

Well there goes the conspiracy theory, LOL
