I'm curious, what kind of employment/jobs are represented?

I am an accountant. Accounting can pretty much be done anywhere nowadays with technology.

Also, I am a bluegrass Internet radio DJ, which can also be done anywhere nowadays with technology as I can broadcast from anywhere I can connect my computer to the Internet.

 

Tentmaker most of my life, TV repair mostly till later, then maintenance and maint. manager for big retailer. They didn't move it offshore they contracted my job out to a company that uses illegal aliens. Cheaper workers almost always wins out.:thumbsup:

 

I'm trying to imagine the Bluegrass twangy and nasally sound coming from an Indian. Heheh... it just doesn't quite fit.

 

Third party auditor - can't be outsourced overseas - it is necessary to travel to the company under audit.

 

ummm not falling for this one

 

Not much "twangy and nasally" in the bluegrass music that I play on my show, twpaige, unless I am playing some classic bluegrass songs.

 

I work for a company that produces high precision ball bearings primarily for aircraft, with many military applications. We also make balls for NASA, just a month ago astronaut Rick Mastracchio came to our shop, but I missed seeing him because I work 2nd shift at present and did not feel like coming in early to see him. But I have worked with engineers from NASA, Pratt and Whitney, Sikorsky, Boeing and others many times.

Here is an article about our visit from Rick Mastracchio.

I am very fortunate, because of the military applications of most of our products, it is against the law for them to be outsourced to other countries.

We are a little slow at present, but things are slowly picking up.

I work in the Quality department and setup and run Eddy Current machines that test balls for cracks and stress defects. I also measure balls (size, concentricity, sphericity, surface finish...). I also have training in heat treatment and metallurgy. We also have a method of testing which I am not allowed to talk about (really). It is very precise work, we meaure to the millionths of an inch. So it is challenging and very interesting. You would be surprised at the science involved in making a simple bearing.
