What are your thoughts on high tech, knowledge jobs being sent overseas?

I say go where you're needed. Everyone needs to make a living.

Sending any jobs overseas seems like a counterproductive move to me. I know that labor is cheaper, but when you don't invest in your own country aren't you setting a poor example and potentially setting yourself up for problems?

Same way I felt about assembly line jobs being sent away: It's bad business in the long run.

Just goes to show that even with high level skills and lots of education, capitalism will still skrew over the worker when a better buck can be made.

I think sending any job overseas is only going to come around and hurt us in the end.

Our capitalist nation will learn a hard lesson from this.

I understand that most of the jobs being sent overseas are rather mundane and tedious. Some, of course, are not. I sympathize with the American workers who have been left stranded, but I don't think the trend will stop.

I'm not wild about it. I think the corporate executives in the United States have no conscience.

Not a good thing. They are taking jobs away from US people and paying people over seas. I know many programmers that are out of work.

As a software developer, I resent it.

I guess I don't have any, because I only have a very vague, foggy idea of what you mean. Sorry.

Can see it. Americans charge too much for their brains. But companies don't want to pay it. People overseas don't charge much for it so companies will buy them.

Stephanie, 27

I just really don't know! Sorry!

I think a lot of people are loosing their jobs here bcause the jobs are going over seas.
