This would mean no visas for the international students graduating out of US colleges. Someone with a bachelor degree isn't going to get $100k straight off the bat.
That in turn will drive the best and brightest to stay home and not come to the US educational system.
- LammyL 10y agoYou could easily add a clause that says if you have a useful 4 year degree from the US, the minimum is $75k (or whatever) and 100k for everyone else. Then new grads wouldn't be at an unfair disadvantage for getting jobs.
- vinay427 10y agoIt's not trivial to identify useful degrees. Even if you tied this to professions with low unemployment (jobs in need of workers) you would need some link between major/program and profession. Keep in mind, also, that few of the ideas on this thread haven't already been implemented by some country (Canada, Australia, etc.). It would behoove politicians to look at the resulting data instead of voting on measures that affect groups they don't care to understand.
- stale2002 10y agoIf they really ARE the best and the brightest, then they will have no problem getting 100k straight off the bat (LOTS of people do this in SF) . If they aren't then they won't be able to demand this high salary.
- smb06 10y agoSF isn't the only place that hires the best and the brightest in the country. I graduated from Purdue in Indiana. Cummins was one of our biggest employers. $70k in rural Indiana is considered quite a good salary. No one is going to get $100k straight out of college outside SF.
