>> I don't think anyone in IT is hurting for pay, but they are hurting for workers. Yes, this is why the best and brightest in the US are all lining up to get into IT schools and universities have been having a hard time keeping up with demand over the past 10 years, right?! What is your evidence for your thinking? If we were really short on IT skills the salaries should have been shooting through the roof. Have you looked at actual trends in IT salaries?

I am glad for you that you must have such a select group of friends that are doing so well. It is the multinational corporations that benefit by being able to have captive workers at below market rates, allowing them to make larger profits which they move to foreign subsidiaries to avoid paying U.S. taxes while the foreign workers send remittances back to their home countries.
