In fact, you better hope you have your resume up to date, as PROJECT MANAGEMENT is going H1-B as well. Have fun..

It's up to date.

I SELL offshore programming. Doing very well right now.

I'm sure you are. How can you live with yourself? Do you enjoy being part of the cause of the decline of the United States economy and the poverty of hundreds of thousand American families?

Wow, I'm speechless. I've never disagreed with any of your posts before.

My husband has worked in IT for over 15 years, and if I do say so myself he is brilliant. He is now working in a very undesirable company and has many qualified American friends out of work due to H1Bs.

These foreign workers force the salaries down and are beholden to their employers for lower than marketplace wages. If they don't work forced free overtime and weekends they are fired and deported. The employers literally abuse these workers and get away with it. Many American programmers are driving trucks and working in convenience stores. It's impossible to compete with people that have to obey because of what's at stake.

I have no idea what project managemnet is, but I'm sure if my husband could get into it he would. The compnay he works for expects weekends and 12 hour days. Their attitude is "go ahead and find another job." There aren't any. We had to leave Tampa, FL (a place we both loved) because there was no work for him due to so many H1B's working for low wages.

This is the ONLY issue I agree with my current senator Hollings on. Do away with H1Bs!!!
