The fact is, outsourcing of jobs will continue to happen - and a lot
more aggresively in the future. and if you are a top notch expert -
why fear outsourcing? hating outsourcing only ends up exposing your
insecurity and non-competitive attitude. it is sad that people
discriminate and say that a so called "3rd world" country is snatching
away "their" (non-deserving) luxuries. nobody in the US complains
about Japan crunching out animes and tons of games hardware and
software (a market much higher than India's insourcing revenue). btw,
H1-B and outsourcing are two different things.

quite true.. and "quite some time" is the key here... maybe for
another 100 yrs.

good luck with your ph.d and jump into the real world as soon as you
graduate. it sure is a rewarding career for the competitive..
