Last summer I spent 6 weeks in India outsourcing my job. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I had been to India before but never for so long. I was going to write about the experience of working with the people we trained there, but since they may at some point read this blog I will spare them the criticism/commendation.
Now there is a growing trend of jobs that were once outsourced to India being outsourced from India to The Philippines. To how many more countries will this work be outsourced until the work comes back to U.S? I'd say the over/under is six. Work will be outsourced to South American and African countries: The U.S. to India, India to The Philippines, The Philippines to Ecuador, Ecuador to The Congo, The Congo to Haiti, Haiti to Iran, Iran to India, India to Japan, and Japan to the U.S. That's my guess. So in 20-150 years the U.S. will be getting "foreign" jobs that are right now American jobs, like my job. Makes sense. You've got to go to where there is cheap labor.
Regardless of where this work ends up I hope I win the lottery and/or become a famous celebrity so I no longer have to worry about a real job.
