> I would rather pay more & keep the jobs here. I promise you neither you nor any of your fellows will ever complain about NOT doing any of those jobs. It's plain rethotical BS about loosing work at home.SHould the factories remain in UK or US lands, employees would be all from minority groups.
And quality does not have to be an issue here, if specs are followed. Many products from India are just as good or better than the "local"ones and regarding clothing, Indian Cotton is by far one of the best of he planet, along with the egiptyan and a couple others, so in terms of material Indian quality is unbeatable. I won't bet on all chinese made things in the same way, but just as I can remember as a kid on those eras( the 60's), that we all knew something labeled " Made in Japan" was a really crappy toy and second quality gift, I can 't say the same thing today. On many ocasiosn improvements come as a result of well applied optimisation methods , and if this improvements also lead to lower productions costs, so be it. Also we have to recall that mass production always lead to smaller costs.Indian and chinese labeled products may be as good as any other "local" one. There has always been this discussion about how to charge in digital services, like retouching, since an hourly rate is a well stablished method, all I can say is that the most knowkedgable guy in PS and other tools will do many more things in a hour than a newbie, and if some sort of standard pricing is taken as reference, then, does it make sense that the newbie could be charging his/her clients more than an expert, just based in his poorly optimised methods of work?? Well, same thing . All the best.
