Jobs are going overseas. First, it was manufacturing. Now, many other jobs are going overseas, too. People are hiring overseas programmers, and even people overseas to help them do their taxes. Pretty much, if you can communiciate the job and deliver the result over the internet, you can "outsource" it overseas, for cheaper...
Not all jobs have left. Some people who are doing well, at least here in Australia, are tradespeople. People like plumbers, electricians, people in the building industry. If you want a new concrete driveway, you still have to hire a local to do the concreting for you - you can't outsource that overseas!
So, I don't think all jobs will go overseas. But more and more jobs seem to be doing that...
Being your own boss isn't always easy. There's a big learning curve. But, it's the only way to truly control your own future...!
Thanks also for the links on side-businesses... Lots of ideas there. Some of them pretty good ones, too! I'll be going through more of those articles...
Best wishes,
