Well, gee. I guess us best and brightest will have to think of new and 
better ways to make money then. ;-)

I'm hoping offshoring takes off even more - that way I can finally plan 
on doing interesting tech work while living in the Mediterranean or some 
South Seas paradise.

The only problem with offshoring at the moment, is that there is an 
inefficiency in the market such that labor isn't as free to move around 
as capital.  When comm networks and technology are more ubiquitous, it 
should become feasible for us to really live anywhere we choose doing 
the work we want to do AND be able to order takeout from 50 diff types 
of ethnic cuisine.  That's what globalization means to me. :-)
