POPSHow Western Students Can Still Compete in Our Globalized Economy Do not turn your nose up at being a plumber or carpenter, some make six figure salaries and are more creative in their jobs than any cubical gnome. If you want something a little more respectable, try a doctor, social worker, or educator (although I make a good living at outsourcing that). Here is a good rule of thumb to pass the outsource test that I came up with after I read The World Is Flat by Friedman, ask yourself, can my work be digitized? If it can’t you’re safe, if it can, prepare to compete against your new Indian and Chinese co-workers.
