Just read a post, Clinton appeals to high-tech leaders, which lays out some inspiring news and interesting points.
- "increasing the current cap on H-1B work visas; relaxing green card restrictions of engineers" – this is good news for foriegn-born high-tech workers, especially many of my friends currently studying abroad and planning to stay after graduation, but will also bring much protest from American middle class
- "53 percent of all engineers in Silicon Valley are foreign born and three of 10 new jobs are created by foreign-born CEOs" – what will the percentiles turn out to be with more open border?
- "Think of a series to bring real sex appeal to science and math"
- "Fewer than 20 percent of American undergraduates earn degrees in science and engineering, compared with 50 percent in China" - actually I’ve been wondering whether there is real demand for so many doctors/lawyers/brokers. Also, this reminds me of a joking statement I read somewhere, "Idle lawyers tend to become politicians, so there is a certain social value in keeping lawyers busy".
