The good news is fluency in English can land jobs. My friend is high up at a community College, and said the number 1 complaint they have for the math department is students can't understand the professor, so being fluent and well spoken can land jobs against foreigners.
How can they pull that off without the usual suspects crying racism? I deliberately avoided the Asian names in undergrad because I knew I'd be teaching myself if I took Professor Ching Chong.
Fucking A, dude you just reminded me of differential equations. it wasn't even a professor but some Chinese grad student. Not only did she not speak English, but she also just wrote all the solutions on the board without explaining to us how she got from A) to solution. At least not that any of us could make out.
Ironically, girls in my class came to me for help, and I ended up getting a C because I did my final project in Mathematica instead of matlab, and, thus, the fucking TAs couldn't understand my work. I refused to rewrite it.
It astounds me how many people are able to land jobs without being able to actually speak the language. It's disgusting. I want everyone to discriminate more based on not being able to understand what the foreigners are saying.
Just imagine trying to understand them speaking while wearing masks. I can't imagine how bad college has been these past two years and since 2016 in general. I have been very isolated from that.
I wouldn't go to college in this environment unless it is a college that isn't crazy (which is rare). Masks are awful by themselves. I would just learn stuff online and get books from my library. It is not worth paying money for this experience.
It would seem that for a job where communication is so important, bring able to communicate in the language everyone speaks would be a necessary ability. Same thing for customer service and tech support.
