### Comment:
My small company tried h1b.  It's a pain in the ass, never again.  There are plenty of people who claim to know how to code, but not enough are any good.  Demand is still high for decent coders (hence the high salaries).

### REPLY:
Yeah, sadly too many companies think that the sheer number of subpar people you can hire for $50k/yr makes up for the shit quality code. I know lots of people with no formal education that are badass coders doing fine but I think working toward a degree can be a quick way to cut the line, especially with internship experience that's typically only offered to people enrolled in college
