What happens when most of your team is Indian?
What are your thoughts on this article? I'm an international student myself currently on OPT STEM. I feel OPT and then OPT STEM are justifiable to the 2x/3x fee we pay to the universities, at least for the ROI+some profit. And there's no denying it that more and more universities are benefiting from this by introducing shorter academic programs, and churning out graduates at an increasing rate. Here's the best part: most of these "professional" academic programs do not offer any sort of funding for students, irrespective of how qualified you are. We are on our own! #visa #opt #h1b #engineering #software #swe https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/08/09/suspend-opt-program-so-american-college-grads-can-find-jobs/
Btw, this is just an opinion in opinion section of Boston herald
Oh! Don't know much about it. Do you see any such action being taken for OPT?
😂 what nonsense, this op-ed repeatedly says that the recent H-1B deferral saved 500,000 jobs for US citizens. That's the *total* number of H-1B workers in the US today. Trump didn't kick out all H-1Bs, so how were the jobs preserved for US citizens? Sure, everyone's allowed to have an opinion, but at least run a basic fact-check before publishing!
Also this op claims F1 holders can have up to 3 years of OPT, and additional 2 years for STEM OPT, which is also wrong. I wonder why this guy can’t find a job after graduation..
First of all, if any changes are made there should probably be some sort of grandfather clause for students that took on these fees with the assumption that they had a work opportunity. Secondly, the only people that benefit from the high fees are the rent-seeking bureaucrats, tenured professors and real estate developers associated with universities. They are pretty much just leeches on society with their outrageous fees. Some massive amount of universities in the US are going to go bust in the next 2-3 years and it will be a huge boon for the United States as lower cost and more effective forms of instruction replace them.
And most of these universities don’t offer any great education as well. Most of the things we study is a revision if you have attended tier 1/2 university back in home country. It’s just a way to enter US.
I wouldn't completely agree with this. The education might be same, but I personally believe there's a lot to benefit just from the importance given to practical application of concepts. Not to mention the diversified grading system. This is highly subjective though.
