I don’t think Jason is a jerk for writing or doing what he did. He could have just fired the guy instead of helping him find a better fit. Startups just seem to be a different world, where three stars doesn’t cut it.

So there are exportable jobs and un-exportable jobs. This is the critical difference of jobs now. Whereas 20 years ago, the required education level or the employers’ size were the critical consideration of career choice, now you need to think if the job of your choice is exportable or not.

This doesn’t necessarily mean you should never aspire to become an accountant, for example. Even though many such positions will be moved to India in the near future, there still will be some accountants in 2050 USA.

However, if you dare to choose one of the exportable careers in your life, you might want to be smart and figure out how to make yours un-exportalbe. Hint: If you are a self-employed accounting consultant, your job cannot be exported without your own consent. (Bonus of this choice: You don’t get pushed around by a jerk like the one who wrote the mentioned article. I haven’t read the original post – no desire – but I know there are people who use fear tactics to manipulate others)

Globalization is not a bad thing. While many jobs get moved around across the borders, we can also find customers all over the world.

Good that you are back! I will check that book out. It’s been few months since I’ve begun blogging again and I am enjoying it.
