YellowMP5 said:not necessarily. many companies are realizing that outsourcing does not work -> missed deadlines, over budget, miscommunication. software now adays is a lot more complicated than it was 10 years ago and in order for a project to be complete, programmers must have proper requirements and understand what is needed of them. many companies are bringing projects back inhouse.
the company i work for is outsourcing one small project... TO ME. they are paying me $1k for my own time (basically off the clock) that i spend on the project.
chances of him getting a job as a programmer in US are very good. make sure you study hard and get good grades
and oh yeah, once you graduate, forgot 90% of what you learned and start learning again when you get a job.
jster28 said:True. I'm going into hardware not software, even though i can do both. rather be designing circuits and chips, then doing a million lines of programming code. Still having nightmares from all the programming classes i've taken.
DiS said:thats kewl. I was going for both.....1st Electronics Engineering tech. then Network admin and support. Then, 9/11 happened and economy went to s*** in USA and I saw alot of computer jobs kinda disapear. Therefore I switched to something that will ALWAYS be around....hense, Civil Engineering Technology.
Speaking on your topic...When you're software programmer, if you make a mistake you can go back into open source change few lines and it might solve the problem where as, if you are electronics engineer, if you make one mistake on circuit board you have to re-do the WHOLE spagetti of the wires and circuits
