I'd be very interested in knowing your views on this, dep. Even in 
Singapore, there is talk that our jobs are going to be outsourced to 
India and China. Personally, I've been seeing certain *kinds* of jobs 
being outsourced to those countries since 1993, when I was in my first 
real job. I worked with engineers from Shanghai and Pakistan, among a 
dozen other places, but I never felt threatened by them. I'm pretty sure 
that this is being over-played in the US, particularly where the tech 
sector is concerned. I've heard that certain "early adopters" have had 
bad experiences with outsourcing and are bringing these jobs back to the 
States.
