Exporting Myself?
sennomo asks: "Years ago, I was told that I needed a degree to get a programming job anymore. So, I went to college. A couple of years and thousands of dollars later, there was still no job for me, in spite of my all-powerful B.A. in C.S. The most common explanation I get is that jobs are being exported out of the country. So, I've decided to export myself. Moving to higher ground, so to speak. I have heard a few others discuss this, but how many are actually trying it? And how is it going for them? Are there any hotspots for American expatriate programmers?"
Canada looks like a nice alternative to the USA. Better health care, low crime rates, civilized acceptance of diverse peoples. Personally, I am gathering as much data on my emigration options as possible. I've decided that if President Flightsuit is re-elected, I'm going to try to find another home. Unfortunately, it appears as if getting work as an alien is as difficult in other countries as it is in the USA.
It's simple: I demand prosecution for torture.
Yeah, but it's so cold there, eh? In the wintertime yoo can't go oot of yer hoose.
'Coorse, Vancoover is really pretty in the summer and yoo don't even need yoor took. In May yoo can throw snowballs in yer shorts on the moont'n.
