Maybe you should have taken your own advice and maybe I should have too, but your comments are too "one eyed american" not to comment.
Improving your self doesn't mean you would have to change jobs, you surely have spare time to learn and read new things and there is plenty of trial software out there to play with. Don't think that because you are american you are special and the only one in this situation. It is occuring all around the world, and that is why people go to other countries because the same situation is occuring in their own country. Maybe you should take note and go overseas to see that there is other cultures than just the US. -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Darrin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 17 February 2004 7:39 a.m. To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Java / J2EE Developer I know better to get involved in this but... Improve yourself? How will that protect you unless that improvement happens to mean lowering your salary 80% or so? This is a problem to us in the US. Maybe folks from other countries don't care, and that is understandable, but it doesn't mean that we Americans shouldn't stand up and fight. I wonder why we allow people to come over to the US, attend our colleges, work in our firms, and then leave to better their countries...not ours. It doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe back in the late 90's when there was a lot of work, but now? BTW, I have been both outsourced (other country) and downsized (with only non-US workers left). No, they were not better...but they were a lot cheaper. -----Original Message----- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 12:28 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Java / J2EE Developer Looks like the only way to compete is to improve yourself.
