H1Bs are used not only to pay lower wages, but to enable employers to treat their employees poorly without fear that they will leave. As a US Citizen, not only can I work for any US employer, I can reside here as well, even if I don't

I have good reason to believe that you're better off not using a service at all. I do specifically know that some press outlets make it very difficult to submit press releases over the Internet. It's not hard at all to build a li

Hire a process server to deliver a letter to your cofounder. Be polite about - just say that it's important that the two of you talk. Either they should come back and work with you, or the two of you should part ways. Imagine what mi

I take requests. If you're looking for work, and you'd like some help, let me know where you want to work, or whether you're looking for remote work and I'll rustle up some employers and clients for you. (I have metric b

I'm linking to the employers and clients, not to the jobs, for that specific reason. The jobs you find on craigslist, careers 2.0, monster and the like go away after a while - typically a month. One has to pay to post the ad in most c

This is one of the reasons I have not pursued my PhD in Physics - there are few professorships available. I don't want to spend years trying to get one of the very few postdoc jobs available.

I don't agree that everyone should learn to code. It's just not that essential a skill. Consider that if one does not know how to read, write or perform arithmetic, one will be left out of most available occupations. That'
