[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]one of the [b]last american born software developer [/b]at a large corporation.  make $148K plus 10% after 30 years of Assembler, Fortran, C, C++, Java, Ruby and what else.  It was a great ride in the 80's and 90's.    Turned shaky in mid 2000's and now just hanging in there until they fire me and replace me with another developer from i[b]ndia or argentina or china[/b] and I start over again with whatever language is next.  Would like to be able to work normal hours and not feel like I am going to be fired every day.

Technology, outsourcing, a growing temp staffing industry, productivity efficiencies, have all replaced the middle class.  Everyone is getting fired. Everyone is toilet paper now.  All 3 houses directly by us in our quiet suburban neighborhood have people, in 50's and up, that have been fired in last 2 years.  PM, Architect, Tech Writer, it doesn't matter.  There is no security in IT.
