Wrong, we are still tredding water because we have people with experience. Unfortunetly the newest stuff is now leaving in droves, so that experience will diminish and peter out, especially as the replacement engineers will have less experience to gain.

Wrong? What is wrong? I wrote that the United States is not a Third World country or even close to being one. (Do you disagree?) And I pointed out that we are not without "experience and tech," which you admit is true.

My x-roommate who worked in development for Intel is a good example. His whole research department is now in Nizhni Novograd, he barely found a support job in Portland with Intel. Sybus moved their entire IT department to India and competitor Oracle hasn't been to far behind.

Well, your anecdotal evidence clinches it for me—American is doomed, because your roommate is working in tech support instead of research & development. Where can I find the nearest tall bridge?

Seriously, if you really are worried about high-tech jobs going overseas, I suggest you ask yourself why that is happening. Let me give you a hint: the purpose of a business is to make money for its owners.

Well at least his anecdote is better than his math.
