I want that statement on a bumper sticker!

There was a time when teaching basic mechanical skills like "Auto Shop" of "Woodworking" was in every high school.

Now we buy $10 furniture from Wal-Mart and immigrants build our homes.

There was a time when learning BASIC took 4 years of college.

Now most kids learn BASIC in middle school and begin C in high school. By the time they graduate they're fluent in at least a half-dozen programming languages and have designed extensive applications

There was a time when Algebra in High School was unheard of.

Now our 6th graders learn Algebra and we teach Calculus to 10th graders.

What's stopping the powers that be from farming your job out next?


Nothing, really.

Do you possess a talent that no won else does or can't be done by someone else with less talent for less money?
I don't think so.


It'd be pretty arrogant to say that no one else could do my job. But I do know that I do my job damn well and I have crafted myself a very nice and lucrative niche in the business world that very few people are qualified to do let alone can do it well.

Admittedly, I'm lucky enough to have a job that functions inversely to the number of jobs going overseas. I design/streamline distribution channels (to vastly generalize things) and the more stuff we buy from overseas, the more extensive and complicated the strategic channels of distribution become.
