IT workers may not like it but I've decided this is best for the industry. I used to be an IT Manager for a dot-com and I haven't been able to find work so I'm getting a PhD in economics and there is no doubt everyone is better off if the jobs are exported. We are all going to have to retrain and/or become entrpeneurs. Many will have to face the fact that wages will be lower in IT and many people went to school for many years for nothing. This is the reality of our current situation and it will only get worse in U.S. because there is no "IT" union( and there shouldn't be one either). No one ever promised you a job at a particular salary, if you try to use political influence to alter the market for such purposes you only hurt everyone in the long run. Industries change more quickly and retool and reorganize more quickly than in the past. Everyone is having to retrain and change jobs more often - it is the reality of the digital age - you have to take the good with the bad - this is the bad...
