RE: Oracle Corp. move to India

I would agree with you and become a pro-globalization if US imports labor from India to build houses in US.

But globalization always work one way!

I would not treat this snip of news in such a light-hearted manner. Comparing to couple of years ago, the IT job market has slumped completely from a sellers market to a buyer's market. I am not a greedy person by any means and all I asking for is a decent salary and some job security. But if this trend of massive exports of IT jobs overseas continues, I am not sure how many of us will be able to have that. BTW, before firing the slingshots at this E-mail, please note that I am pro-globalization and have heard the arguments about fair market/competition etc. But bear in mind that we are standing on uneven grounds when competing with third world programmers because of the huge housing and living expense differences.
