Was entry level when the dot com crash happened. For 6 months I couldn't find a job. Everyone was saying that in the future every single software job was going to be in India. Why have it anywhere else? Everyone drew lines parallel in it to the manufacturing industry and pointed out that everything is made in China now. I was convinced I was going to have to switch careers and that software in the US was dead. And then it wasn't, and then I ended up making more money than I ever thought I would make.

It turned out all those stories about every single tech job going to India were wrong. Now I'm hearing all the same people say all the same stuff again. I'm skeptical this time around.
