I surprised to see that low level jobs are still here. If the American worker demands higher saleries the jobs will be shipped over seas. Lets face it everyone a person slapping a reel together should not be making a high salary. It is unfortunate that everyone needs a good salary to survive but workers have to realize that their job is a low paying job and should not expect a high salary. The united states leads the world in innovation but we cannot compete with the labor force in asia or india for low level jobs
I feel for the folks who have been with the company for a long time and losing their job....its has got to suck!
I was joking to some folks at work about this subject and said I can see a college / high school or even middle school classroom with a video feed from India teaching a classroom in the heartland of USA with a low paying security guard watching the kids making sure the students are not messing around.
It will save millions on a school budget as the person in India with a PHD in math will be teaching students for 50-75% less than a teacher makes here plus the school system will not have to pay benefits which include a retirement. The only cost will be the fee for the teacher in India, the cost of the security guard, the related building costs and the cost of the video feed (video over IP). The feed will be free as most schools have free internet access mandated by the FCC.
Looks like a new bidness to get into  |
Interesting concept but it would not work. Not to say that are schools do not need fixing - they certainly do - but the number one problem facing schools and students these days is the lack of support from the parents of many of these kids. Really sad.
