An employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old,
the experience of a 40 year old,
the drive of a 30 year old,
and the pay scale of a 20 year old.
It's painful accurate this is. Companies like IBM would really like to have all of that in one person but not have to pay that person for everything they bring to the company. So sad, but so true.
@xbv your child is more likely to be employed as an engineer than any other degree...
...as long as they are not working for IBM and instead are working for FANG companies.
Merry Christmas.
There is no shortage of US engineers they just don't want you if your over 40 which manufactured an industry shortage. There is a shortage of young US graduate engineers for a very good reason.
I am a US engineer and I am not blind. Why would I recommend my son or daughter go to an expensive college for an engineering degree? Becoming a US engineer is a high risk gamble today. Jobs that could go new US graduates are directed to an H1B foreign engineer. Even young US engineers are losing their jobs to H1B people.
Its not about you, or racism, its about corporations cutting costs. Quality died decades ago so they get away with it if customers cannot buy a quality product from any vendor.
This is not unique to IBM. This is a problem across corporate America.
The partners keep getting richer though.
