Need a Job? Move to India
WhoDaresWins writes "As U.S. jobs move abroad, more Americans are willing to work overseas like in India as per a CNN.com story. The story talks about many Americans and also Indians who are American citizens moving to India for work. This story should be an eye opener to people who feel Americans cannot work in India. With a booming economy there is a need for skilled professionals with years of experience in a western enconomy and industry. Best of all, job listings are available online." Thomas Friedman has a piece called The secret to India's success.

I said it in jest over a year ago: to stay in IT, the American should become an Indian citizen in order to be qualified to work in IT in America again.
This is kind of a new paradigm for labor, using an old paradigm for other assets. If you run a corporation in America, you register it in Delaware. If you run a cargo ship, you register it in Liberia. Now, it seems that to work in IT, you have to register your body in India.

Didn't you hear?
Well, technically Philadelphia and Illinois were annexed by Canada. Canada, India, the UK, and Australia then reconstituted the British Empire. They're new currency is the RupeePoundDollar.

*chuckle* Well here in Greece, I am considered well off with my 16k Euros/Yr (Gross)...
I can guarantee you that you would NEVER have to flip hamburgers in India.
Remember the late 80's when we all figured the Japanese would own most of the West Coast too?
And an elephant! Don't forget the elephant!
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
And if you sell the wife and kids you could have a happy retirement.
In India, they have "arranged marriages"!
If that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will...

Oh come on, it's easy.
I keep getting offer for getting a Visa just about every day. My parent's dog even got one recently.
No matter how your interpretation of 'well off' is, you are definately not well off with 16kEur/Yr in Germany.
