I actually know of people working on sensetive government projects that are sending their work over seas, and their managers dont even know this.

They sit around in their cubes and play computer games all day, and all of their work gets done overnight in New Delhi India.

Of course the Indians turn around and send their work to Vietnam, which is even cheaper, and they sit around and play computer games all day.

The vietnamese actually do the work, because there is basically nothing else to do.

The whole thing is getting completly absurd.

There is nothing that a guy in Vietnam cant do with a computer that you can do, other than putting in a new card, or flipping a switch. But you can train a monkey to do that.

You should change your major.

Cant you see the signs of the times?

Thank you for the uplifting reply.

I've spent the past 8 years of my life in Information Technology doing work that you refer to as, "flipping switches" and "putting in new cards." It's good to know that I can be replaced with a "monkey" and that my job doesn't require any understanding of electronic architecture or logical troubleshooting skills.

What do you propose I change my major to?
