"He won't be able to have a career designing and building stuff because all those jobs have moved to India." So move to India already. Seriously, choosing one 'thing' and doing it repeatedly for decades on end. What's the term I'm looking for ...? Industrial age! That's it! Actually, that approach still applies, as long as your 'thing' happens to be learning. |

The article says that an average US programmer earns $65/hr vs $20/hr for the average Indian programmer. Here in San Francisco, *senior* J2EE software engineers are being offered $40k per year. Which translates to a little less than $20 per hour. A bachelors degree with exceptional performance from a nationally-recognized computer science program is required. No joke. http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/eng/13358605.html |
