Darfot, excellent comments you supplied to the quotes. You're right on. People (even the other engineers I work with) think it's no big deal with exporting the IT jobs. They say we just need to come up with the next revolutionary idea which will then employ people. What they miss is India and China have a relatively unlimited supply of human capitol. This means their cost will always be much much lower than in the US. No job will be done in the US unless it requires physical presence here (auto mechanic, landscapping, doctor, etc). I worry for the future for my kids. What should the go to college for? I guess they have to do some type of service industry job which can't be easily exported. Why is this not discussed by politicans? Maybe because they have no clue as to how to prevent it. I don't.

re: "Once those jobs leave the country, they will never come back," said Phil Friedman, chief executive of Computer Generated Solutions, a 1,200-employee computer software company. "If we continue losing these jobs, our schools will stop producing the computer engineers and programmers we need for the future." In time, they shouldn't need to send their students to the US to acquire the skills since the design and research jobs are being relocated to Taiwan, China, and India from US, Japan, and Germany. Their universities would over time surpass those in the West.
