Semi OT: Computer & Java jobs...

[tk]

Just like everyone else on this group, I'm a Java programmer. I was
somewhat disheartened to see this article...

So much for the promise of a good career in IT when going to school back in
the 80's to learn how to program. If this *truely* is the trend, then I
guess one can safely say that IT is no longer a career... I have NOTHING
at all against India or any other country. I just think that it's sad that
this trend indicates that many of us degreed programmers in North America
might be forced into a totally different career in a few years.

Obviously some jobs are harder to export than others (eg plumber).
However, as someone else said a while back, the only person who can't be
sacked is the owner of the company. I guess there is a lesson there.
