Learning About Outsourcing in College?
nial-in-a-box asks: "I just started my software engineering course today at Loyola University Chicago and I found out that I will be learning hands-on about outsourcing. My classmates and I will be outsourcing parts of projects to students at another university, and then those students will be doing the same for us. This seems like it could be rather interesting. Has anyone out there been in a class like this before? Any other ideas on how to effectively teach about the implications of outsourcing (especially pointing out that outsourcing doesn't necessarily mean no jobs upon graduation)?"
Chinese people, I can't understand you, with your Ching Chang Chong! White power!
Really, if these jobs are going to Indians with CS degrees...why wouldn't they deserve the job? If they're qualified, why not give them work?
Yeah! Fuck our neighbors! Let's ship the whole FUCKIN' ECONOMY OUT! Why the fuck not?
if two workers are both qualified, and one will work cheaper, you hire the cheaper one.
Well, of course you do! Why not just accept at face value that someone on another continent is just as qualified as the poor dumb sonofabitch sitting there in his pathetic little tie??!?! Shit, if I knew about outsourcing before I lost every fuckin' job I had, I'd have MOVED TO ANT-FUCKING-ARCTICA. HEY, CORPORATE AMERICA! SEND ALL THE FUCKING MONEY TO THE ASS END OF THE WORLD!!
I guess people just need to realize that programming, as it's done by most large software companies, isn't really skilled work.
Well, of course it isn't. The only skilled work is being a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon. I mean, that's what late night TV says all the time! It MUST BE TRUE. All those people I know who spent years and years learning how to program computers must have all been DUMBSHITS.
Oh fuck. Time to start thinking about that mountain cabin in the Great Northern wastes.
