OMG, JumpingJax...do you know how many of my friends have their hopes pined on transitioning into web design?  It's being outsourced how, exactly?  How does a foreign national compete for English-speaking business?  Is the price they set so low you cannot compete?
 
This brings me sad reaffirmation of a 'factoid' I have noticed about myself....by the time *I'm* aware a market is exanding anywhere in the economy, it's glutted.  Apparently *I'm* permamently on the 'last to know' list. 
 
If it makes you feel any better, legal services are also being outsourced.

IMO, this country very badly needs some protectionist legislation to reduce or eliminate this trend....or else our entire economy will be outsourced from under us.

It's kind of shitty to hijack a personal thread like that with such blatant political propaganda, no?

Kittin, you and Me would never do that now, would we?

Hey! I bought a new scratch-off lottery ticket today called "Spread the Wealth" for $10.
I thought to myself; "Hey, how about some good ol' Obama socialism for Popeye!"
I lost my ten bucks.

Popeye, your chances of winning the lottery only increase slightly when you buy a ticket.

Lotto. somebodies gotta pay, might as well be you.
