hello guys,

one question that is been bogging me...

first of all I want to say that I actually come from a third world country, so I am all up for opportunities for everybody...

so here comes my consideration,,, I have been working as a programmer for Iphone apps (noob in the company), now in my new "first" world country (immigration can be good!!!), but seem to be getting more and more advertisement from sites like freelancer.com etc,,, so I would want to know what do you think about all this???,

  • would the jobs be getting cheaper??
  • if a project can be done by say 10% of the cost overseas, what is stopping the employers of doing just that?
  • is it worth it?
  • how about the quality? from a local job and overseas job?

and all other aspects I cannot think about??

I just want to know if all this years of learning are going to pay off? or if in a near future all programming jobs will just go to cheaper labor? (sweat shops??)

ok hope to make sense in my ramblings,, cheers;)
