Yeah, I just got back like ten days ago from one of the two cities they talk about, Hyderabad. I was taking a tour of the Google office there, and accross the street was the Dell building. It was big to begin with, but as we speak they are adding a new section to the building that can, and probably will house 10,000 employees. Thats nothing though, you can't imagine the amount of $ and the buildings that Microsoft is building. I have to say, the changes over there are unimaginable. Actually every company you have ever heard of(and more noone has heard of) has buildings/offices there, its insane.

Wow from what I just read, people need to start taking some economics courses, either that or retake them.

I am getting more good info from all of your arguments then I did from an Economics class.
My question to all of you -if it's not about the money, why do CO's do stuff like this?

Wonderful.... if I need a new computer, I'll be buying something else because there tech support in India sucks A$$.

Jakey · 03-20-2006

....and what's even more wonderful about all of this is the number of those employees who probably come to the U.S., get a free education because they're from a foreign country, and then go back to India and work in positions which formerly belonged to Americans.

Outsourcing overseas is a necessary evil in order to maintain our economy...

But is giving those overseas employees a free education in America necessary?

What is the number? What is the percentage, and what are your sources? Just curious.

Jakey · 03-20-2006

I have no numbers or percentages; my source is my personal experiences from being in the College of Engineering at Iowa State University for 3.5 years. On a tangent from this subject, my roommate freshman year was on virtually a free ride to Iowa State because his parents were born in Sri Lanka. He had lived in the US his entire life and was born in IOWA but yet gets a full ride because of where his parents were born. He was not a National Merit Scholar nor did he carry any other high honor out of high school which would justify a full ride.
