Yes, I'll be 55 years old next week and I have to say that this story is right on. Self-teaching and learning from others, including my teachers at Prestwood is very rewarding.

An H1-B visa allows a foreign worker to temporarily take a position in the United States away from a U.S. citizen., , Does the shortage of talent still exist?, Is it time to abolish H1-B visas?, If not, is it time to lower the available H1-B visas to pre-1998 levels?,...
