"The shift of North American technology jobs to low wage countries like India cannot be stopped because not only are Indian companies a third of the cost, but they actually are better," said Pradeep Sood, president of Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce.

I take the source with a grain of salt, but I had dinner with a couple of Indian engineers a few nights ago. These guys are brilliant, personable, and have a great work ethic. I'd say that 6 million jobs going to India may be a conservative estimate....

Next time you have dinner with these guys, ask them how they would feel about defending our country.
If we continue to offshore our technology and the jobs that go with them, we may not be able to defend ourselves in the future. Already there has been a significant drop in the number of students signing up for classes in Computer Science and Engineering at our universities.

I'd say America should allow jobs to go to India, IF India will accept an equal number of immigrants from the United States to fill those same positions.

I think we'll reach an equilibrium. Most of the R&D work will remain here in the US but lower end tech-realted jobs like call-centers (how the **** can ANYONE call a call-center job as a tech job?) can move out.

Well, if they're so brilliant, why haven't they turned India into a major superpower?

If they're so briliant, as a people, why the mass influx of them to the U.S. to run convenience stores?

I say, products and services by companies who send American jobs overseas, should be heavily boycotted. I can't think of a think they make that we can't do without.
