If you're going to talk about competition, you should have no fear — may the best man win."

They didn't get these jobs through competition, they got them because they prostituted their skills for low wages to greedy American corporations. Losing jobs to people who are more qualified is one thing, but when a company shuts their doors in America and moves off to India, competition is NOT in the equation.

That's an unfair statement. The wages these Indian employees get are actually quite high for the Indian labor market. That's why you have Indian MBA's clamoring for telemarketer positions with U.S. based multinationals! As for greedy American corporations - I can't say you don't have a point, but I will say this... if some of them do it, they all have to do it, just to stay competitive.

Not really: When Wal-Mart sells more than other stores their USP: the cheapest store, works. That doesn't mean that the expensive quality stores go out of business, it means that the other stores that have a USP of cheapness have to compete with Wal-mart. Ditto here, the best professionals will still get high paying salaries, but it won't be an industry for schmoos that get a 2 week course on idiots guide to programming.
