and now the rest of the story...Temps are the new reality, Everyone does it, yes it is about money. So again what is your "Beef" frustration, that companies are being forced to reduce labor costs to compete and to remain profitable? Automotive, Aircraft, bicycle manufactures etc. all have to deal with it. Did you vote for Ross Perot?

BTW, the going rate for fresh college grads is about $75K in tech these days! What are you complaining about? Cushy jobs and 75-85K with huge benefits is nothing to sneeze at - all at age of 21! Goog gives another ~150K/4 years for fresh grads. Now that is an amazing benefits package. I think your complaints about off-shoring are just wrong. Nobody in hi-tech is gung-ho on shipping the dev jobs abroad.

exactly, globalization is leveling the playing field my point about ample engineering jobs in the USA was exaggerated certain jobs still exist when the job requires tight inter-connected work with clients with frequent site visits and regular contact the jobs continue here when the job requires tight co-sponsored R&D with other firms with frequent visits to the partner firm sites the jobs continue here that leaves the bulk of R&D jobs vulnerable to overseas export / jim
