Thing is... most IT jobs that are shipped over are customer service help desk jobs. Which are not the middle to higher end IT jobs out there.
Thats not entirely true. Yes help desk jobs are an easy one to ship overseas, but I've personally seen entire development projects sent to India. From product analysis to all the development of the software can be done in India. I've seen it.

Networking support jobs can go to. If you can log in at home and support a network, there is no reason someone from Bombay can't do it.

When I first started in the business, I was doing helpdesk work. Its a good starting point. I'd hate to see college grads not even be able to get decent starter jobs.
