Can somebody tell me why companies hire agencies who employ people that have high school diplomas who aren't tech people hire high tech people for them? Even high tech people have a hard time figuring out technology, so how can high school grads do it for them? Why do companies shell out $8000 dollars to find a low level tech? Can't they advertise and have their HR department determine this? It seems to me that if companies would quit shelling out so much money do lower hard working peoples wages and just paid the wages then maybe this country could get back on its feet. The way it is now people don't have enough to pay their mortgages, transportation costs and now food. Another question that comes to mind is why do they keep trying to get the people from other countries. It seems that they don't have Americas best intentions in mind. Millions of people in this country get an education and have to borrow money to do this, yet companies act like the skills that they do earn are worthless and meaningless, probably so that they don't have to acknowledge that they have value. That is why they treat many of the high tech people the way that they do with ulterior motives to lower wages. Maybe it is about time to put our resources to work and quit worrying that maybe our workers will make more than the rest of the world. They deserve at least that!
