Alan Blinder, a Princeton professor and former Federal Reserve vice

U.S. earns more than a college-educated computer operator. In fact,
the data
suggest that education bears little relationship to jobs that are
vulnerable
to offshoring, he says.

On balance, Blinder says, "there's little doubt a college education is a
good investment for most students."

But he offers this advice: "Don't train yourself or your children [in
work]
that a computer can do or a smart kid in China or India can do. Because
that's ferocious competition."

Gee, let's send all our addicts and convicts on probation to India for
rehab and retraining...full scholarships.
Lets send all criminals to China to do prison time and re-education
and see if they want to re-offend. It's bound to be cheaper than what
it cost in the U.S. and I'll bet we get better results.
