Re:Don't pooh pooh it (Score 1)

Why would anyone in IT who faces the prospect of having his/her job offshored/outsourced, see becoming a TV repair guy as a 'godsend'?

For starters, not all jobs are going to be outsourced/offshored.

Secondly, if my job was on the line of being offshored or outsourced, I'd probably want to start my own business and work as an IT professional services consultant, or IT technical services.

In other words I wouldn't want to repair tv's if my skill is with IT.

Finally, I see no correlation between tv repair and IT professional/technical services such as website development, installation and configuration of networks, database administration, possibly some business systems analysis.
