Kris, I sure hope you're right. I used to work 60 plus hour weeks and made really good money and thought it would never end.
As a matter of fact, I've even negotiated a deal between your company EDS and a company I was doing business with to arrange for management buy in after a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system had stalled due to politics. We originally moved back here in 2003 when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I thought no big deal. I've allways been able to find work and I'll be able to do so back in austin. Lets just say that I learned a very humbling experience and I hope that you are right, but if we keep sending our technology and infrastructure offshore, it won't be too long before all that is left are VP's and Project Management positions and there will be an awful lot of us competing for very few of them. Again, I hope that I'm wrong, but this is what the last 4 years experience has taught me and that’s why I now believe that my lack of a degree has come back to haunt me.
