  1. These new jobs of yours.. on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How does it compare to your other relatives who come to the US and work at a 7-11 making slushies? And isn't it true these companies that employ you give you American first names so to try and actually fool us U.S consumers in thinking you are actually american?

  2. IT Saving Lives.. on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    IT DOES save lives. I was a MIS Director for a medium sized county in Pennsylvania. One of my initives was to make our 911 center more responsive. They now have a start of the art system which has proven to save time, and probably lives. However I do agree that during the mid 90s when I was in college, IT was the big thing. All the media raved about was how much IT people were getting. So, the market became flooded with idiots who have no clue what they are doing just because they saw dollar signs. Now since this flood of new people have developed, along with the economy still being down (IT is the first to go in a sagging economy), you should really stick to it has a hobby. Or do some work on the side. What is really scary is software and hardware nowadays are so fool proof, alot of IT people aren't needed. What's weird is I always had a passion for animals and always wanted to become a Veterinarian. Maybe we could help each other out?
