Default Carpenter or Computer Operator?

Robert Green wrote:
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."
