Surfn,

You mean to switch careers?

It's not really a matter of amount of training or education IMO.

If a programmer in the USA costs $60k/yr and an Indian programmer costs $K/yr all things being equal...the company goes with the savings.

There is no amount of additional training the US programmer can do that will offset the savings his or her employer gets from off shoring it.

I'm speaking about employees, not entrepreneurs or contract workers. Folks who have worked at the same place for 10+ years.

Probably, a lot of us here are used to being contract workers or having our own small business. I can't imagine working for one place for many years, but some people find that comfortable.

Like you state, nobody has a right to a job.

But it sure is a bitch when they lose them based on cost, not skills.

It is good to be able to take advantage of exchange rates.

When your rent is $50/mo it's pretty easy to win a bid.
