Job Warrant

It has been a national issue and a political debate on the coming November elections in the U.S, long for the job shift from the U.S. to Asia.


A young woman landed a full-time job right before her graduation from college, with a B.A. degree, this summer. The company she works for is specialized in designing web security software tools, and she, as an engineering program manager, is assigned to manage business partners and working teams in China and India. The reality is the U.S. only created one job but lost at least 30 jobs to overseas, even in the hottest high-tech sector where the U.S. generally has unique positions.


She is my daughter -- not to my surprise, her talents secured a nice job and she enjoys growing the emerging and prospective business. Importantly, two lower-cost countries are seizing outsourcing projects on software, though quality is not as good. It seems that God does not warrant politicians' claims for a job increase in the U.S. ; instead, we have seen amazing dynamics for collaborative engineering work across countries. Is it an indication that God is favoring cross-cultural gears? Or, is it just an occurrence that U.S. residents are lazier, while many are still innovative and dedicated?
