but that good jobs are being shipped overseas

My husband is an accountant (corporate). When the computer jobs starting leaving, I said "Phew, glad we aren't computers".

When I heard of other industries being hit (architecture, etc.) I said "Phew, ..."

Now, we are hearing financial jobs being sent to India (American Express or Deloitte & Touche). My husband says "Do they even have an understanding of GAAP accounting?

I guess it will be our turn next. Maybe we can come up with the $250,000 for a Subway franchise.

Why should they? American accountants demonstrated during the Clinton years that they sure as hell didn't understand GAAP...

Scary,isn't it? Good luck to your husband.

"Do they even have an understanding of GAAP accounting?"
Well they can learn on the job, since they get 1/4 of his salary. Miss next year's forecasts because of it? Well that's in the future so who cares?

They don't care if the offshore clods understand GAAP. They just want it cheap.

And who do you suppose will patronize your $250,000 Subway franchise? Perhaps a $5 an hour H-1B immigrant?

SUBWAY???? No way... you need to open an Indian Diner right across the street from some BIG American company that layed-off their thousands of American workers and hired H-1B visa workers.

Hey, you could even get an an H-1B visa Indian chef to come over from India and do the cookin'!!

Curry some favor$ from all those new immigrant$!!
