Laws Against Foreign Students in France

A series of new laws aimed at foreign workers in France will also affect international students trying to transition from institutions of higher education to the professional world. 

These new laws will not only limit the number of visas given to workers in most domains, but they will also make it very difficult for students--even those who already have jobs lined up--to work in France after having studied in French universities. 

For those assistants who would like to stay in France a little while longer, the laws will also affect you. Finding jobs outside of the Teaching Assistant Program in France will be more and more difficult. And a French education might not even help. 

There might be some hope, however, that the laws will take competitiveness into consideration. If the need is high, or the skills of the foreign worker important, the laws might be a bit more flexible. I'm just hoping that the my master's degree in rédaction technique will be competitive enough to be considered important...
