45. Xenophobia?
Edited on Sun May-01-05 12:41 AM by high density
I don't hate foreigners, I just want a decent job. And since I'm attempting to live in America, I can't work for the same amount of money that an Indian can. I do not have a graduate degree, but since when did that become a requirement to be a software engineer? Most of the job listings I see could care less about an education beyond a BS degree but instead value job experience. I have virtually no experience and there is absolutely no job market in software for recent grads. Right now I'm still working in the job that I had during college and making about poverty level wage. Fortunately for me, I still live at home with my parents so my cost of living is virtually zero, but I would like to become self sufficient and stop leeching off of them. If I didn't have loving parents I'd be really fucked right now.
