I'm 45 and work as a coder doing some pretty cool things. I know a fair number of others. Yeah, we make more than 22 year olds fresh out of school, a lot more than those overseas, but we're worth it. A lot of jobs can be done overseas. A lot can't, at least not well. Not a knock against new grads or foreign workers. It's just that experience can easily more than triple your performance and that the communication and coordination overhead dissipates a lot of the savings of going overseas.
If you can do a job better than 2 US newbies or 4 foreign newbies there's work to be had.
