Supposing we get EMP bombed. A farmer with a donkey is worth more than
a programmer who knows three languages. The farmer's ass continues to
be useful. The computer programmer might get a job sitting on his
donkey all day.

Alan Blinder, a Princeton professor and former Federal Reserve vice
chairman, says it won't be surprising years from now if a carpenter in
the
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."
