Dhaval, your dim view of the Indian value chain is unfounded because India is now ranked 3rd in A.I. research. Indeed, if you're higher up in the value chain in North America then you certainly do run the risk of losing your job because, for example, A.I. research has to be pretty high up in the value chain I would suspect!! https://www.analyticsindiamag.com/ai-ml-research-breakthroughs-india/ /gary On 19-03-13 11:49 AM, Dhaval Giani wrote:

No, I think YOU have misunderstood. When I download lectures I do so for the sole purpose of entertainment and nothing more; I'm a senior citizen. My thinking was that those individuals who enjoy science and engineering can still indulge that interest and yet support themselves with jobs that are unlikely to be outsourced. The alternative case of spending a lot of money on a science or engineering degree to learn science, which is their passion, just does not make sense because the hope of establishing a career in the field before it gets outsourced is unfounded in view of the fact that places like India have very talented people who can do the job, do it better and work cheap! I don't understand why you keep ignoring what I keep saying.
1. There are talented people everywhere 2. There are people who do things equally well and equally badly everywhere 3. For high quality work, no one works cheap.
So, if you are higher up the value chain, you are not going to lose your job anytime soon.
