if you think you deserve the job that's going to someone else (whether here or offshore), ask yourself: what am i doing to compete?

It's about
relative competition.
If everybody starts doing better in the west then the standards are going up. This means that only a few will be above the standard and once again many others will fail to keep their jobs.
Besides that, it's is not about quality. That the "BIG LIE". As if professional built programs are built by the highest possible standards. Yeah right. I've never ever encountered an employer who wishes to invest money in high standards. Way too expensive. It's all about the money.
So you say ask yourself: "what am I doing to compete?"
Then the answer is: "I compete with a low salary. Pay me equally or less than those guys in India (or whatever)"
That's the "BIG TRUTH". You want that perhaps? Like, we all getting poor? Because it is the only alternative. History showed us.
Finding a balance is good capitalism. Not $$.
And by the way. IF there is a lack of IT Pro's in the west, then the companies that are complaining are the ones to blame. No one and nothing else.
