Without a hint of irony, on the same day, NPR did stories on declining enrollment in computer science and Bill Gates’ efforts to increase the number of H1B outsourcing visas. Uhhh, fellas? There’s actually a correlation here. High school seniors and their parents actually do read the paper.
In related news, proving beyond a doubt how completely disconnected he is from the lives of ordinary Americans, Bill Gates posted the following question on LinkedIn:
“How can we do more to encourage young people to pursue careers in science and technology?”
Gee, I don’t know – how about not outsourcing their parents’ science and technology jobs?
