I indeed did say happy. Should have the context on my screen when typing replies. You have a point of course; they do have a choice. Sort of. If you are not very talented but you did get a CS degree (which holds for a lot of people), what are you choices really?

Guess the point was that outsourcing is no longer cheap (it is) and I only know about coders as that's what I encounter every day, I'm not thinking call centre employees etc. So it's rather logical why all try to get a CS degree, as the article probably applies well to call centres or manual labor. For CS is see a bright future; I would just like it more if Indian founders would go for nice, high quality startups offering services for 70% of western prices instead of massive factories hiring anything they can get and selling for 30% (and rising).
