collar - white or blue?


OK many people are trading their white collar jobs for blue. I have already seen it, computer programmers becoming truck drivers, MBA getting work as building inspector, R&D design engineers fixing airplanes, the list goes on.

The reason, is very simple; many of those high paying high technology jobs of tomorrow are so yesterday. With OUTsourcing many high skill high wage workers are OUT of a job. It is a lot cheaper to hire a web designer in India for $3000/yr than in US for $30,000/year.

Things are so bad that I saw an engineer from Pakistan working inside a convenience store; he told me that he did not come to america to starve.
