What am I going to learn that is not able to be learned by another guy in another country who will work for half the price? In a global economy I can't compete with people in India or China ever!

I see a few limited choices for a US job: work for the government or work in retail. Retail is the gawd awful most dehumanizing soul-draining job I've ever done, and how am I going to work for the government if they don't have a middle class to produce tax revenue? I could be a teacher, but what am I going to teach that helps that kid, since another kid in another country is going to get his/her job.

The only other sure job anymore is going to have to be "on the spot" jobs, where someone physically has to be there to get something done. Doctors, dentists, electricians, construction, repairmen, and the entertainment field are all types of jobs that should stay, but I can't think of a whole lot more. I assume that any job where you sit at a desk and process work (nearly every professional job) has the potential to be shipped to India, where the data is squeezed out (profits) and then sent back to it's US manager or owner.

What Greenspan said was "learn to flip burgers" when he spoke about "lack of adequate education training".
