Sounds like its time to seal the borders and put Americans to work in more menial jobs that immigrants once took. |

I have a job. And I've invested in my education and positioned myself with specialty skills that people want and pay well for. Perhaps you don't understand what it means to be in business for one's self.

MAMIL

Since I'm an immigrant, he can have mine. Attempting to bring American engineering graduates up to a more exacting standard of communication and technical rigour is occasionally quite rewarding but frequently a little frustrating. I should warn anyone attempting the feat, if you try to encourage them to use the word 'epistemiology' in their written work they're liable to start flinging poo. Presumably it's some kind of MIT tradition. |
