Full disclosure: The best way to compete with them is to know something very specific about not-technology. Laypeople do not understanding the difference between basic and advanced technical skills, even if they did it wouldn&#x27;t be particularly relevant to them, even if it was foreign skilled workers often learn technology just as deeply as Americans, but more importantly than all of that: If you can help people use technology to solve a non-technology related problem, this is where your native use of English and understanding of American culture really starts paying dividends. It&#x27;s exceptionally hard to replicate that understanding from another country -- perhaps impossible.
