Well, as it happened in the manufacturing sector, it looks like more and more IT and other white-collar jobs will be moving overseas. It's already happening with call centers and I've even worked a little with overseas development. Simple fact is that American salaries are just too darn much compared to other countries, and we're losing our technical edge (or is it already gone?) Personally, I'm thinking Jamaica for my future career move. Tasty waves, cheap prices, good food and drink, friendly folks. CNN-Money story

I was thinking seriously about Indonesia there. World famous beaches, almost no cost of living. The idea of moving to a Muslim nation right now, though.... hmmmm. Maybe I could pass for Canadian, eh?
