The indians and chinese have two goverments working on their behalf - ours and theirs. They are taught how to market themselves, their industry bodies lobby the various foreign governments, and the myth is created that they are superior to local talent.
We have two governments working against us - ours and theirs.

I doubt any of them actually learnt anything useful in 3 years, except they can all roll far better joints than me.

It's an absolute disgrace that universities are allowed to give such wastes of time degree status.

Anyway, the work permit conspiracy doesn't tally with Blairs ideal of having 100% of our youngsters degree-qualified - what exactly does Blair think they will all do for a living? They can't all get jobs as interns at the Whitehouse, the best they can hope for is to become restaurant managers, and perhaps star in series 20 of Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares.
If accountancy and legal work starts getting outsourced on any scale we'll be left with a nation of sociology students in 10 years time trying to work out where it all went wrong. We're all doomed.

because the government doesn't know its arse from its elbow. Not to mention I haven't seen that many Indians coming over here to take permenant jobs, most of the ones I have met go into contracting.

If you can't see what's happening here, you really are blind.

Originally posted by DimPrawnHow can it be the dotcom era when that was at least 6 yrs ago and these are graduates that graduated last year FFS?
That is because the market is saturated by people who got thier degrees in the dot com era. Why hire a newbie out of uni when you can hire somebody with 5 years exp and the same degree for the same money ?

A friend of mine used to say about all this new "go for IT" uni stuff : "Never before, so many know so little about so much..."
HTH
We have the government banging on about IT skills shortages, issue millions of work permits to Indian graduates and ours have the highest unemployment of any degree subject?
Vote Labour - Vote your future to India.
