Talking about the non theory classes that are pure filler and fluff that are Not part of your core or gen edu's. can be replaced with classes that cover the more hands on parts of your core classes.

And comparing the cost of just one forced "PE" class (some schools want to have more then just 1) in a degree to the MUCH LOWER COST of a 2 YEAR fitness club membership that is OPEN 24 hours a day as well.

well rounded cool but not at today's price levels.

In the past when you where able to work part time and go to school without big loans all of that well rounded stuff was ok. But now days the costs are to high and people need to learn more hands on skills in IT in school. Why should be forced to take an PE class at a cost that is way more then BUYING a 2 YEAR fitness club membership.

Comment H-1b should not be used for lower-level workers (Score 3, Insightful) 225

Some places want them to fill lower-level rolls and low pay as it's much cheaper and they locked into the job.

Now maybe if there was say very high H-1b min wage say 100K + COL and forced OT pay (so they can't get the work 2-3 people out of 1 h-1b) that would get rid of a lot of the abuse of the system.

they can't find people who will work 60-80+ hours for very low pay and the will to be in a place where they can't quit and will be big suck ups not to get fired.

It's not about skills it about this

  On average, applications for H-1B workers in computer occupations were for wages $13,000 LESS then what USC get.

$13000 less and they get 60+ work weeks out of them as well.
