>I watched a segment on the news about outsourcing and hiring employees from other countries here in the U.S. etc. Some white collar workers (programmers to be exact) had to train the H1B visas from other countries that were brought in to learn their job and assume it. Following the training, the U.S. citizens were laid off. It gets scarier everyday. One guy said it best (as close as I can remember): If you sit at a desk, eventually either someone from another country will be sitting there or the desk will be in another country...

Hi Tracy,
Why you loose your time to watch this segment. I suppose that good programers like you will be never jobless.
It is true that this year a lot of work move outside US and Canada, but simultaneously there are lack of skiled labor in Australia, UK, Frange, Germany , Belgium.
There always will be work for people on-site, even if 90% of the work to be outsourced.
This is my 2c
