Well, unless the computer industry collectively accepts Jesus Christ as its Savior, I would imagine that it is indeed going to Hell. (Or so I would tend to think from listening to FelixDeKat over in that other thread..)

As more and more jobs move overseas, will a computer job be equal to a fast food job with a college degree ? If so , can we stop it ? How ? In a broader perspective, when do you think other types of jobs will be sent overseas?

you have 0 knowledge in economics. you have no idea of how the world works.

how about more jobs will be created in the US?

i take exception to that being a problem. the more outsourcing we do in just about every industry, the cheaper everyone (with money) can buy the goods coming out of those industries.

although computer and phone jobs are the easiest to outsource, just about everything can be, to a point.

though i consider myself fairly immune, being in academia

If enough jobs are outsourced (it won't be long at the current rate) many people won't be able to afford said goods. Those who can will pay a higher price because of economics of scale(back). What branch of academia exactly are you in, custodial? Sorry but you don't seem to have thought this out very well.

We definitely need legislation to stop it, as the snakes in middle & upper tier business management have no compunction about it; anything to make a buck. They'd nuke New York if it meant solid growth for their business. Efficiency experts need to be burned at the stake... or at least have their trade made illegal so that they have to find something to do for a living that doesn't involve ruining lives. :|

The strength of the industry also depends on your location. In the Silicon Valley, it sucks! I've been out of work since March, and I'm rarely even able to find places even hiring for the jobs I'm looking for. I've submitted over 60 resumes, and received two calls, and zero interviews. I have a BS in MIS that isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
