Dont worry in 50 years when the poorest aboriginee/pakistani/african is
economically better off then the people in the USA, jobs in IT will come
back with a vengeance here.
You can always find people willing to take a position for less money, but
will the job actually get done as needed?

I saw a funny article the other day. In it the Indians were whining
about all the programming jobs that THEY were losing to the Asian and
former Soviet countries.

Do you mean that an IT job market still exists in the U.S.? That is,
aside from the H1 visa employees imported for cheap labor along with
the cheap outsourced overseas labor.
