Maybe not for their lifelong careers, but it is menial jobs like these that can help pay the bills while working through college.
Keep in mind that these outsourcing gimmicks, etc. are ultimately doomed to failure. The apex of it will come as the very people these companies seek to sell their goods to ultimately end up unemployed because of those very same tactics. Outsourcing does no good when your customer base is out of a job. So there will be a period of time where people will be unemployed in the middle class, lower class, etc. but soon after the upper class will find themselves in the breadlines when their companies come crashing down due to a lack of consumers. I'm not sure what the recovery period will look like.
The sky is falling!!!
I have to ask. Where did you take economics??
