I laughed my a## off.  I spent 20+ years in data processing, everything from tab equipment operator ikn the Marines through systems analyst, manager and consultant.  As my hndle makes clear, I've gone the other way, in becoming a teacher.

Computer programming is absolutely an exportable job that can be done anywhere.   It will be hard to maintain such jobs in the US.

BTW  -- there are tose who have tried outsource teaching positions as well.  No, I do not mean being taught over the web by someone in another country.  I ahve seen cases of districts in the US importing science and math teachers from India.

One thing a lot of these executives apparently do not realize.  It is actually quite easy to outsource their jobs.   Maybe we should.  Then because foreign citizens are barred from contributing to US political campaigns, we could dry up some of the funding upon which the Rethugs rely?

So let's push outsourcing of managers and exepcially top executives  -- after all, they are the most highly paid, and for each job outsourced the savings to the company will be that much more.  :)
