Well now, did I just drop in from an alternate universe? Sure America has lots of problems, some of which we are fixing, some not, and some are being ignored, but I dont feel like I am in the cesspool of the world. It sounds like you made a bunch of mistakes, getting an MBA was one, unless you want to work for large corporations. And there are certainly universities that are diploma mills. But most of us here on HN learned to shift gears and move on when we took a wrong direction. Rampant discrimination? I'm a white guy so my vision isnt perfect, but I dont think so. My office has more Chinese and Vietnamese than whites. Maybe it's much different if you dont have a college degree, but you arent talking about that case. We do have an immigration problem, but I see signs of a political will to fix it, but expecting an automatic green card is unrealistic. Thousands of Cuban PhDs driving cabs? I'll check with my Cuban brother-in-law to see if that is the case. Of course a Cuban PhD isnt worth squat nor are many of the others from around the world. And even if you are American, a PhD is no guarantee of a job, especially in a field no-one is willing to pay for. If I dont sound very sympathetic, it's because I'm not. You blamed all of us for your very problems, without asking if you contributed to any of them. This is not a very good forum for blaming everyone else.
