If you study a STEM field in the US with F1 via you get some time to do work in the US to get practical experience. It's up to you to do that work during it after you graduate. I did it after. I believe that allowed me to work here for two years. After that time you could switch to H1 and now have some experience to drive your salary up.

I can name quite a few exemplary journalists on US national media that would not have made it under the current or proposed H1B rules. Maybe start thinking beyond your STEM bubble?
