3000 jobs saved or created! Ain’t Bambi awesome?
“U.S. To Train 3,000 Offshore IT Workers”
Direct attack upon middle class professionals (mostly white male, maybe???)
This is what happens when a “Child of the World” is elected to the presidency. Elections do have consequences. What a load!
I guess if I knew what an IT was I could get more into this.
More redistribution of wealth by the Great ZERO!
The list, ping
Obama/Marxist/democrat Agenda: destroy the US with a million small cuts.
IT is Information Technology (i.e. computers and related fields)
IT == Information Technology; i.e, computer software
The article mentions Enterprise Java. This software is high tech software for building business and web applications.
If my current job tanks, these people would be competing with me.
“Direct attack upon middle class professionals (mostly white male, maybe???)”
No “maybe” about it. Practically everything he does is an attack on the middle class. Find a country with a strong middle class and you will find a stable, thriving country.
Want to wreck said country? Destroy its middle class. Zero believes the American middle class is the roadblock to his “grand utopia”.
I never did find a job in IT. The job I did find has been very good to me for 7 years, so it's not a total loss by any means. I know I would've been a very talented programmer, but since I haven't been able to keep up with it, as fast as things change in IT, all that effort and training has pretty much gone to waste by now. What a damned shame.
Cloward and Piven. Crash the country.
I’ve worked in IT since the mid 1990s. The past about 7 years, I’ve watched the companies I’ve worked for attempt to outsource everything they could, and most of the time, with disasterous results to productivity, customer service, and quality.
Now our own government is bankrolling the further destruction of the US tech industry.
I could rant for pages on this subject, but I’m just too tired and beat down right now to do so.
The past three years I’ve spent killing myself trying to stay employed or find work has me questioning everything about my obvious idiotic career choice. What the hell am I supposed to do when the government is even bankrolling the destruction of my field of expertise with the tax dollars I send them?
I’m just soo damn tired.
not us. Obama and his minions.
My favorite line in the article:
“USAID will also help the trainees brush up on their English language proficiency.”
I was working in Haiti last year. US Aid was there giving meeting in tents to teach Haitian peasants about Green Economy building and the dangers of Global Warming. It was hilarious. All they wanted was the free Hot Dog. Pathetic.
While rank-and-file programming onshore may not be as good a career choice as it once was, opportunities starting "one level up" still exist in the US, and those opportunities may become more numerous since the lower programmer costs allow companies to do more than they would have done in the past.
Also, there will always be a need for the physical presence of computer administrators.
