Despite all the talk that floats around the nation about the outsourcing of blue collar work, we have to remember that this is all our own doing. America has become a service economy. Sure, plenty of people bemoan the fact that less skilled work has largely been picked up by immigrants and/or outsourced.
We need to face the facts though. Neither you nor I really wants this job anyway. The pay that is being offered for it isn't up to your "standards". We continue to blame illegal immigrants for stealing our jobs. They're not stealing jobs if these were jobs you were disinterested in to begin with. India has picked up our customer service departments, but really who wants to pick up the phone for a living, listening to people moan and complain about the deficiencies about their Dell computer? All that's around us is built by everyone.
The economy is now a global economy. We all depend on each other, regardless of whether you like it or not. Blaming other people for something you don't want to do yourself is arrogant, and ignorant, which is something that most Americans seem to be very good at. We need someone to blame, and we've decided to pin the blame on... well everyone else. Grow up America.
