This suppresses tech wages for the employer and discourages the brightest Americans from entering the field.
I agree somewhat with the first half of that statement, although in 30+ years in software, I have always been in the top 10% of the country by income and for the last 15 years the top 2-3%.

That is why I can't agree with the second half. Software graduates from top schools start at 80-90K. There aren't many fields where you can get there with just a BS. I think it much more a cultural problem than economic. What kid wants to be Dilbert?
