Vineet Nayar [CEO of HCL, an Indian outsourcing firm] said, most Americans are just too expensive to train--despite the Indian IT industry's reputation for having the most exhaustive boot camps in the world. To some extent, he said, students from other highly developed countries fall into the same rut.
Vineet said HCL and other employers need to have a greater influence on the tech curricula of U.S. colleges and universities, to make them more real-world and rigorous. For the most part, he said, those institutions haven't been receptive to such industry partnerships.
Vineet asked rhetorically. "We need to define the American dream to be more global in nature," he said.

Not buying it. Americans are the most productive workforce in the world.
Also, Nayar says Americans are too expensive to train, then says employers need to influence higher ed. curriculum.
Not PC here, but when we bring Indian resources on board, their work ethic is not even half as good as Americans. Americans are more independent in solving issues and don't have to employ group think.
