[Alberta's Child]

This may sound grossly unsympathetic of me, but I've always approached my career with the following thought in my mind:

The day my job can be done by someone in a Third World country, it's time to change careers. Because once that happens, either that country ain't a "Third World country" anymore, or I'm no better than an uneducated, ignorant peasant.

Any job that requires thinking and not physical presence can be done overseas. As for "no better than uneducated, ignorant peasant", gee, I saw a lot of these peasants in my masters programs, many of them where getting their Phds at my local STATE university.

Ignorant peasants with Phds taking your jobs away, meanwhile, you're going to be driving trucks.

Yeah, that sounds like a winning combination for the future of the nation. Might as well tell everybody in engineering to quit and start practicing mowing lawns.
