This ranges into the realm of politics, so I'll be brief. India has some great
engineers! The problem for us is that the US has had unionized labor long
enough that our wages are very high compared to other countries, like India.
We can't compete on the wages field with India. C'est la vie. IT is just like
everything else.

I think that to distinguish yourself you should learn PHP, as when I do job
searching that's what I see employers are looking for. I'm sure that'll get
flooded, too, after people start realizing that...

Comments off list are welcome.
