Agreed......and your scenario is happening in many industries (tech, engineering, healthcare, military...etc) with many foreign countries. With the current ‘outsourcing’ trend, the importance of any corporate patriotism has all but vanished, mostly due to a short sighted view of the bottom line.

I didn’t mean to imply the current ‘foreign’ competition (and outsourcing) was fair, healthy, or good. Just that it has made a mess of things for a newb getting into the industry as was the case with the original post / story.
