Well, today it is Java programmer but tomorrow it could be accountants, doctors, lawyers, management etc.

In the labor market, Java programmers represent a certain education attainment. It's affected first only because the IT is a competitive and open industry.

So it seems to me that in the long run, the higher wages in the US is likely to decline or flatten while China/India is rapidly catching up.

As for real estate, it will make no sense to commit to a mortgage that will assume you will be able to make $100K for the next 30 years.

>There is no reason for US companies to pay $100/hr to your average java programmer. The cost of doing business here was too high- with this cheap outsourcing we can sell products that are actually competitive on a global scale and open up markets like china.
