In 1984, I was at COMDEX here in Atlanta. I got a tri-fold marketing piece that was produced by the Indian Government [[still have it) that touted India's commitment to software and high tech. I heard about that time that India had discovered that most Americans considered software development too hard a way to make a living. So, India saw an opportunity and ran with it. They subsidized high tech educations and companies until they began leading the world.
I guess I buck the trend. I've been developing software applications now for 23 years and we have customers in 60 countries. But, I agree that it is a very difficult way to make a living. In 23 years I've never been able to find anyone that would financially back us in projects. So, from time to time, I have considered moving to India.
