US vs foreign tech workers (moved from Study.com New CS Courses)
#1
(12-14-2018, 08:25 AM)posabsolute Wrote: I just passed the exam, it was in the most difficult exams I did at SDC, I would compare it to applied managerial accounting in terms of difficulty.

That being said, I didn’t study enough, I basically did the practice tests for all the sections and went for it. I got taken by surprise a couple of time in the exam. In total, I spent 2 weeks on the course. In general, an 80+ quiz course I would do in 1 week.

I think most people can have a high mark with a couple of nights of study. Even understanding the Algebra and programming stuff, you can youtube your way to get more background information on those.

@posabsolute you still don't get it. and yet you elucidated so much for me! thank you!

You know I used to wonder why the US has a shortage for programming talent and guys from China and India lead a lot of the breakthrough research at major companies and universities and why US companies crave this talent yet people with CS degrees from US universities are unemployed in the US or seek employment in fields that have nothing to do with tech.

I wondered how someone from my tiny little island, that dosen't even show up on a map would have someone who ends up at Raytheon getting a patent for ground breaking OLED work, when there are hundreds of thousands of STEM graduates in the US.

How are more silicon valley workers are born outside the US than inside?

How is it in some STEM fields graduate students (90%) are not from the US?

Then I read your post and realize why. Whereas for me CS, technology is my life. I eat, breath and sleep technology. My friends in other countries dedicate their lives to tech. We do it for fulfillment and have a passion and drive.

Whereas MOST people in the US treat learning like something secondary, its all about passing that test huh?  and making the big bucks?
getting the CS degree because it "sounds good" to have? or it's "hot" right now?

Oh boy this makes me so happy! I'm surely getting that H1B now! Your post made it so clear to me why there is such a tech talent gap despite universities doing their best to churn out people with the CS degree.

Just keep doing what you are doing. Pass that test man! Guess your way! Cause it means that people with the passion will have a better chance of getting that interview and actually making progress that would benefit humanity.

I'm just waiting for the "code monkey bust" when AI finally replaces the web site and app builders and only people with real CS knowledge and passion shine. 

I'm not arguing or anything. It's just the world we live in. I attend Thomas Edison State, yet Nikola Tesla was the brains behind our modern world.
NASA landed men on the moon, yet it is taking Elon Musk to take men to Mars.

It's all so clear to me now.
