> farm out to India make in profit go?
The comment wasn't about the money made in profit for the companies
that are farming out the work -- the comment is about the money being
made by the companies getting the work farmed out to them. Money moves
in both directions.
Which is rather -- the whole point of the discussion in the first
place -- so your question applies as equally to Mike's original email
as it does to mine.

Who says they'd have to be poorly trained in comparison? A great lot
of the people I know working as web applications developers _today_
have no more than a fast-track-to-coldfusion class under their belt,
_if_that_. A good friend of mine doesn't even have that -- he's got a
GED and a massage therapy license and is earning nearly 6 figures
subcontracted to the water department in Vegas. Admittedly, he may be
an exception, but I still know rather a lot of people working in this
industry with little or no education. I'm a GED graduate myself for
that matter.

Ummm... how much of what I wrote did you read? ... Forget that the
American Indians are likely by and large in worse financial condition
than those overseas (and therefore less able to pay for training),
that was rather a large part of my point -- to help them train in the
skillsets people are looking for.
Or perhaps I should just stop trying to help people _at_all_ if all
I'm gonna get for my troubles is snide remarks.
