Job outsourcing

How does it feel knowing that your job can be performed at a quarter of the price by third world Indian programmers. Do you go to bed at night fearing the day when you're out of work. Any regrets for not picking a profession with prestige like Lawyer or Doctor (i.e., two jobs that can't be outsourced). What's your contingency plan for the day when mainland China opens up. Read this article about why programming is a bad profession:

>>17
Programmers don't work in labor unions in the US. The point of >>16 is that time is money. I, as an experienced developer, can quote development times quite accurately and then deliver my work within that period. The "cheap offshore" option will take a longer time to complete if they don't deliver the required system within that same period. If this happens, more time must be invested to fix their work which can cost more time and effort in the long run.
