Outsourcing Doesn't Always Mean Lost Jobs

Outsourcing Doesn't Always Mean Lost Jobs

Outsourcing does not take as many U.S. jobs as some may think. Task automation is the real culprit because it makes many jobs redundant. Unfortunately, the perception that most IT jobs do go offshore is still influencing many students to stay away from computer science majors. And students who do embrace the field of study? Many now have the option of taking jobs in other countries � call center positions in India, for example. Westerners have the cultural knowledge necessary to put customers at ease. Those interested in further "future-proofing" their careers should make themselves aware of the changes occuring in today's business economy and prepare to address them.
