MD, 
 
Nope, why be sorry? I think, better yet know, you are 100% dead on… I have seen 
it first hand. Have been hired just to teach foreign surveyors how to operate 
their equipment. Remember I have been a construction and hydrographical surveyor 
for twenty years for some of the largest civil engineering firms in the world. I 
have laid out bridges, high rises, refineries, airports, roads, etc…. and I 
agree they are not skilled enough through education or hands on to compete. But 
reality is, politics have paved the way for the lazy…. It would not surprise me 
one bit that some lazy focker in the US will attempt this if it hasn’t been done 
already. Great Speech and yes, the rest of the world hires Americans to do their 
construction, civil, and structural jobs. Always grateful to bring out spirit….

Now you got me started.....and I have not had coffee yet.
 
Who was it that said,
 
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself"...I mean besides me? ;-]> 
 
Look, I work with educated so called professional engineers in construction and 
IT technician's who are Indians and I don't think we have much to worry about 
there.  I am allot more concerned by Obama or the lack of jobs for Americans, 
and the U.S. deficit then I am of being replaced by Indians.
 
We just kick their Indian asses on every quantitative or production and quality 
issue I have ever had to be a part of.  And that does not even address their 
lack of independent thinking or their inability to make decisions on the go 
unless someone is there wiping their ass they are just not programmed in real 
life terms to make decisions on their own without close supervision....
 
When I look at our kick ass engineers like JB, MikeT, Kirby, Dick, AJ to just 
name a few of our guys who also like to GO FAST  who are not only GREAT 
engineers but GREAT leaders who can also design it, built it, run it, construct 
it AND fix it....does anyone really believe there are Indians who can do what 
these guys do?
Getthefokouttahere!
 
The Indian engineer or contractor will have their perspective asses handed to 
them in any kind of work environment or competition where they are going head to 
head with Americans or Europeans.   
 
On job sites overseas we have even had to mix nationalities on construction and 
engineering teams because a crew of all Filippino's as an example doing the same 
scheduled scope of work as Indians will just kick the Indians asses in every 
aspect of the work and will finish it on time and under budget and then ask you 
for more work.
 
When I talk to our IT guys who are American or European they are are just so far 
and ahead of any of the Indian engineers I have had to deal with professionally 
I really don't have time to wait days or weeks for an answer to a technical 
question which is what it is going to take when I talk to an Indian engineer.  
 
I could be wrong here but again I don't think we have much to worry about..... 
We make great products and given the same opportunity to sell our products or 
services ANYWHERE in the word (you reading this President Obama) we will kick 
ass except maybe for how well we run CALL CENTERS for American Express although 
don't get me started on calls to Customer Service.  When I hear,
"Hello this is Billy, how can I help you?"....and he sounds like the guy running 
the 7-11 store near your house you gotta wonder, 'hey, maybe the dawg is right 
this time' ...You KNOW I am
 right. ;-]>
 
I think the best thing we can do is continue to kick ass.  And speaking of 
kicking asses I got a great letter from Rich Hoppe the other day who many of you 
know telling me about his new race engine but I was touched by his hiring of a 
fellow Marine veteran he hired at his business. 
 
Now Rich (like the "Hawk") should both be telling us soon about their killer new 
race engine in their Pantera's but my point of rambling on like this is so allot 
of you who were hit hard in construction or manufacturing or engineering in 2009 
or 2010 and had to make some difficult decisions and adjustments in your life 
know things are gonna get better.........hell probably every one of YOU reading 
this has had their jobs, careers, or retirement investments hit hard or turned 
upside down by this recession in the last couple years.  
 
But in this particular case I am mentioning Rich because I know he needed to 
hire someone for his company and he hired a vet like you Brian.  I am not saying 
we shouldn't hire the most qualified person for the job  but I am saying young 
guys like you Brian have earned it.  And many of us old dogs are or will be in a 
position to do that in the new year so I hope all of you will who can. 
 
Personally I am more interested in kicking the ass of any Wall Street banker or 
mortgage lender or underwriter I can find then I am any poor Indian trying to 
make a buck or a ruple.
 
Okay, you can take that to the bank.... ;Aren't you sorry you even answered my 
email Grasshopper? -]>

MD, 
 
I knew it was a sarcastic spoof but the possibility is real. Today, more and 
more people work for call centers for all types of business. Even engineering 
firms contract highly technical design work to home based freelancers as I did 
years ago. It is easy to place a job hired by one at home in the hands of less 
payed third world individuals. It is more a matter of morals. Most of your 
computer scams and attacks come from highly knowledgeable people in those 
countries. They are good at what they do and far from the reach of US law. The 
internet and will of someone to do this is very possible. My eyes are wide ass 
open. 

 
Happy New Year J

You have got to be kidding…. Americans are already lazy and getting lazier by 
each hand out… Oh, and when I say Americans, I am not referring to the honest 
hardworking minority. I should probably have a better name for them but 
unfortunately they were born on my soil….

Happy New Year one more time.
Watch both episodes in the onion. Right now I am thinking about setting up an 
office in Bangladesh or Republic of Congo....very talented yet low overhead. 
Women, booze and operating costs all very low.
