Bangalore...."the silicon valley of India"...When computer jobs move to India - its because the work can be done for less. Not only can it be done for less, the People working in Bangalore - are just as capable as computer software people in the US. And to make matters worse...the number of scientists and engineers graduating in the US will continue to decline. So if the US is losing jobs to India and China - its our own fault - we don't have enough qualified people to get the work done.
Wake-up and smell the curry! It's the dawn of a new era. Bill gates recently stated in a speech to the US Senate Committee on Education:
"America cannot maintain its innovation leadership if it does not educate world-class innovators and train its workforce to use innovations effectively. Unfortunately, available data suggest that we are failing to do so—in our math and science programs, in our job training programs, and especially in our high schools."
Innovation is the last thing we have -- we are still kings of innovation in the US -- and we have to maintain that edge - it's something our culture breeds....that and creativity.
Thankfully, Bangalore is a 16 hour flight away, and the cost of a round-trip business ticket is over $4K. Because if it wasn't - the flight of jobs would be even faster.
