the best part is, companies hire dumbass indians and end up with completely shit IT and software, but no one looks at how the systems don't work, they just look at how much it cost.

I like how people actually say this shit with a straight face, like its some big surprise that you can find desperate slaves that are fleeing from the worst shitholes you can imagine to do work for you. Its disgraceful and until people have some basic standards it will continue.
P.s. the same people will then complain about declining quality.

30 years ago we were warning kids not to go to college. It was way too expensive and had too little benefit. There were too many graduates too.
Those who did go to college and earned a degree knew there was no work for them. They had to get internships or start a business in the dorms like Bill Gates did.
The rules of the game have always been you make some money, you save it, and your start a business while all but starving to death if you wanted to get ahead.
I chose that route and I did pretty well. My brothers settled for lower paying jobs in the defense industry and all still have jobs, a small house and 3-7 kids.
I don't know who is telling anyone college is a future, or why anyone believes them.
> or start a business in the dorms like Bill Gates did.
he is a descendant of the Maxwells... his daddy ran the seattle fed reserve and mommy was on board after board, helping get her satanic shitty son the means to steal the OS from Xerox.

I’m not sure if you’re serious, but if you are, you’re completely OOT. The overwhelming majority of parents are still pushing the same narrative, especially mothers to their daughters. It’s not just my AO either. I have frens all around the country, and it’s pretty much the same. It seems the tide has turned and they’re finally pushing more boys into trades, but there’s a whole host of problems with that right now too. At least you can start your own thing eventually with that, but you’re going to take some serious lumps on the way today compared to even 20 years ago.
My parents signed me up for university, with the money my grandparents left to all the grand kids, and then took out a low interest student loan so they could invest it and keep the profits. The entire conversation amounted to them saying "You're going to this school" and my 18 year old dumbass saying "okay".
If I knew then what I know now, I would have used the money to put a downpayment on a house instead.
Dude there's kids that come on here that push against working in the trades because they think they won't make any money. In some of the push back, it was obvious that many people feel they are above manual labor or they're intimidated by it.
In the place that I work, we have software engineers that we hire. Every single one of them looks like they've never done any physical activity in their lives. The baby fat is still hanging on them. It's real obvious. The engineering team that I'm part of are all outdoorsmen and we're all very handy. We do PLC programming. The mechanical engineers are all super fit guys who are also very handy.
My team and the mechanical engineers work with all the different tradesmen on the factory floor. We're all friendly with each other. The software engineers have zero social skills and avoid the factory floor like it's lava. I laugh about this because programming isn't hard, it's just tedious.
Now, what I think is that software programmers are afraid of other people and want the insular job to avoid interacting with other people. This is why they are opposed to working in the trades.
My parents went to university, saved for five years (insurance/trades) and bought a hundred acre farm. Their parents *gave* them the money to build a modern barn, silos, animals and equipment.
I went to university, made exactly the same money as I was making before I went, saved up for five years, only to have the entry level housing price double during that time.
The rules may be the same but the field is now a giant sinkhole.
