I spent 25 years in IT. Once upon a time it was a good career, and I enjoyed it. I've got lots education and more experience. But nowadays in America, these don't matter. The only thing that matters is money. As the article below states, on average an American IT worker is paid $75,000 but an equivalent can be hired in India for $8000. This fact explains why a career in IT is now a dead-end. No amount of advanced education or depth of experience can alter this fact: money is the only thing that matters now. Higher paid workers will be replaced by lower paid workers, and absolutely nothing will prevent this from happening. This fact applies to all engineering fields, finance, the sciences, and even certain branches of medicine to name a few. Anything that can be done by cheaper foreign workers will be done. Higher paid American workers will simply stop being workers; their jobs will disappear. Incredibly practically nobody seems to care--except the victims.
America is allowing itself to be strip-mined by corporations. Paul Craig Roberts has been writing about this for many years. Our future, he argues, is to become a third-world-like economy consisting of low-paid, domestic services. Our industrial production will have been off-shored along with our professions. What's left will be 300 million impoverished people, bereft of hope and a future, ruled by a gang of rapacious plutocrats who enriched themselves as they destroyed their country. Anybody in IT knows this is our fate because IT people live this fate every day. That's why I'm building a new career.
