A lot of the issues have more to do with age discrimination (wage discrimination) than offshoring.
I tell anyone I can that realistically to only expect to work for somebody else until you're 40, and then work for yourself after that, because when you hit 40, companies are going to start to look for any excuse to get rid of you. Make the most of the money you make in your 20s and 30s, and save up to start your own business.
