>Let us know when the first U.S. plumber gets replaced by a guy in India of all people, those guys earn their money. every dollar i spend calling those pros is a dollar well spent. Worst thing about being a plumber, i think, have u ever met a plumber who didn't have a weaze in his lungs from breathing all that plastic glue??? i haven't.... :(

LOL - but I take your point. I'd say UNDER-reported then. That was one of the problems, IT schools that "trained" people for 3 months, or a year - and then they were now "computer wizards" LOL A lot like what we see going into RE now. And the medical field also. They are substituting RNs and medical assistants for doctors. Now we see hordes going into real estate as brokers, mortgage loan originators, etc., etc., the same way. Don't know about the plumber - I think you have me there! Until they get robots at least, controlled from India? LOL t >> Not reported? <<There has been a dramatic decline in IT jobs that is just not being reported>> The topic of balancing job training with job needs has been covered on this thread and all over the country. We all know about the sudden appearance of private IT schools and training classes that sprung up to train vast numbers of computer wizards, which the world said it needed not too long ago. And we know about the tech wreck after that. Let us know when the first U.S. plumber gets replaced by a guy in India, sitting in front of a computer monitor with a phone connection in his ear. And let me have his number, because I might need to call him for advice about a toilet! <<gg>>
