Mo' Jobs For Foreign Grads

Throughout several years I have come to learn that some of the most highly skilled people come from other countries. In some countries on the other side of the world it is found that the students have a greater learning capacity and greater discipline than some of those in the United States. 

This brings me to the agreement with Claire Zillman that there is hope foreign students who choose to further their education in the United States.

As said in the article, the visa that is required for foreign students to be allowed to stay here instead of being deported costs $4,000. This money most likely has to come from a sponsored company who is willing to pay the cost for these workers. This could either make a company or break a company. There are great advantages to paying for the visa for a very skilled individual and there may be disadvantages to not helping the graduates stay here. One advantage would be that these businesses who are willing to sponsor the graduate has the opportunity to expand its brand and increase in finances because they mad the effort to help the graduate with having a job. It is possible for that $4,000 to be turned into $40,00 with the right guidance. Another advantage to this is allowing the opportunity for the economy to grow. Having these foreign grads who want to stay here and work can produce big deals for the United States. A disadvantage to sending the graduates back to their home country would be the waste of money and educational service just for them to be sent back. There are many who revive money from the government and the government is not benefiting if they are not staying. It is nice to see that Americans are opening up their county to new opportunity.

Coffee Drinking Declines 3/23/14

For many years since my discovery of coffee I have been an extremely dedicated coffee drinker. There is not a day that I go without my morning cup of coffee to give me that jolt of energy to complete my day. But there has been a recent decline in the number of coffee drinkers due to the increased production and efficiency of home coffee brewers such as the Keurig brewer. I the future, this could mean a potential loss of profits for many companies that produce non-gourmet coffee.

From an economic standpoint, the less people drink coffee the lesser the price of the coffee in stores meaning that money will be lost and companies will have to seek out ways in which they may compensate for the money that was lost. Meanwhile, coffee consumers who do not have the income to purchase home brewers may opt for an alternative and cheaper source of caffeine. Some of those sources may include soft drinks, energy drinks, and caffeinated teas. This factor may result in the increase in profits for the companies who produce these caffeinated beverages. Some of the local non-gourmet coffee sellers such as 7-11 and Quick Trip gas stations and stores will be greatly affected by the substantial decline in numbers of consumers.

Although there are many downsides to this finding, there are also many advantages. One of the advantages being that consumers will save time, gas, and money by using home brewers instead of going out to purchase a cup of coffee. Another advantage is no more hassle of trying to have that cup of coffee. Often times when going to 7-11 I see a huge crowd of people surrounding the coffee. With a home coffee brewer there will be no more need to experience the wait. So after all, the decline of coffee drinkers is very understandable.
