] There is no shortage of people to do any kind of
] decent-paying work in India, period. The Army turns down
] at least 19 out of 20 applicants who want to be enlisted
] soldiers, and turns down 49 out of every 50 officer
] candidates, who must have college degrees even to apply
] in most cases.
]
] This goes back to that whole "one billion people" thing.
] If a million of them work in "offshore" positions, that's
] only one out of thousand. Make it 10 million, and it's
] still only one percent of the population, and as the
] prosperity created by the 10 million working for offshore
] companies wends its way through the economy, more
] children will be able to go to school longer, which will
] make the workforce progressively more educated, which
] will increase the supply of potential employees for
] "first world" companies.
