But he also used the "no child left behind" as a excuse for outsourcing saying, that the people losing their jobs to our sourcing should go to school, college, junior college for a "21st century job." But one thing, my job as a programmer is a 21st century job, and I know that a lot of mainstream jobs outsource their programming. Hell there is adultoutsourcing.com for the adult industry. You can't tell me that outsourcing is only for jobs like customer service, tech support. He's full of shit, imho, but then again, Kerry is only the lesser of two evils to me.

the no-child-left-behind bill isnt designed to help programmers.. its designed to help kids that dont have the ability to become programmers..

and education is the best way to combat outsourcing in the long term.... the bottom line is without changing to a socialst system... companies are always going do whats best for the bottom line...

so with better education our population will be able to provide a better line.. then outsourcing... thats the hope anyways.. otherwise we are all going to have to learn to take a pay cut...
