I can see why work is being outsourced

August 12, 2003 by Kenny Darcy

I am Irish and live in London, I wanted to go to college last year to update my skill set and become an Oracle Developer, I went to Bangalore India (as the Oracle college was a fraction of what it is here) , where nearly every one has a degree, and even a masters, many of the Indians were doing the Oracle Developement not because of getting a job as an Oracle developer but because it had a job garantee once you finished the course successfull, they got you a job and that job most of the time was in a call center, the limit people would go to , to get a job would put many to shame, and the people that work in call centers are very very well educated for a job that pays them under $200 per month.
