For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

86. What's interesting is that I live in a college town

with a growing international student population. I know these kids-good kids overall. What I don't like is that a decent number of the international students will have interviews waiting for them and will often get decent job offers long before graduation while their American counterparts working on the same degree will still be looking long after graduation for any kind of job.

I know one student with a masters in CIS. She maintained a 3.9 while working full time with both degrees and raising three children on her own. She is the assistant manager of a fast food restaurant-they were the only place that was interested in her. I know another student who just completed his bachelors in the same field and had three job offers, all here in the US. His gpa was a 3.5. His parents back in India are encouraging him to take a job here, saying that it would be a nice start.

I adore the international students but I don't understand how some of the same kids are getting decent job offers here stateside while citizens with similar degrees and a similar gpa can hardly get a job offer at the Dollar General.
