Has it got to do with the fact that they are mostly young, perhaps fresh grads who cant get a job in their own country therefore 0 experience? Or they are just plain "stupid"?
No, it actually has to do with the fact that they are: mostly older who can't get a job somewhere else, who think they know something but they know nothing - or nothing that someone with a couple of years experience at most would not know. There is a quantum difference between "20 years experience" and "one year's experience repeated 20 times".
I think being older and fluent in english helped to get jobs regardless of qulifications about 50 to 20 years ago. The jig is up...
Sometimes being older just means: you are older. Experience is another matter...
