LOL. But there is some ring of truth there. Like it or not, we are going to have to work and play well with others from different cultures, so the person who does have more knowledge of the world outside of the US is definately going to have an edge. That's just the way it is.

Perhaps you are not aware of the ever-increasing migration of American IT jobs to India?? I'm supposed to complete all of my outstanding programming projects (and there are several of them) by November of this year so that I can "begin working on new development" while Covansys India backfills the maintenance of our old mainframe system. You guys figure it out.

As far as a perfect IT education goes, I have a BA in music and have been an IT professional for 18 years. I agree with the earlier posters who maintain that the best IT folks are those who don't have IT degrees.
