It's simply out of context. If we had not opened up to China and India like we did these grads would have been sucked up in an instant with good paying jobs. Not anymore when you can hire someone in a foreign market that can live on about $1000 a year. <BR/><BR/>And we have 30 more years to go. Problem is everyone says globalization is great. In my opinion globalization will require the whole sacrifice of this generational work force from about 2001 forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-12792845539405032502007-01-24T14:28:00.000-08:002007-01-24T14:28:00.000-08:00I've got the book!
