Yeah. There seems to be a paradox embedded in the national conversation about STEM and the job market. On one hand, various thought-leaders insist that people in the US should get training in STEM fields. Education is the answer, your answer, to employability. It doesn't matter who you are; you can get STEM training and become competitive in the job market. On the other hand, some of these same thought-leaders insist that the US absolutely must import lots more people from foreign countries. There's no way to train existing people in the US to do the necessary work. It doesn't matter who you are; you can't do it. Step aside. We're replacing you. A lot of times the people making these arguments are lawyers.
