The outsourcing in the high tech field does not work nearly as well as people might think. Sure it is pretty easy to outsource tech support and maybe even some design work, but the real meaty stuff is still done in house. At a large company where my wife works they tried outsourcing some segments of code to another country....total fail. They ended up having to redo the entire code in house after paying a lot of cash to the consulting company handling the outsourcing. I would guess the same thing could happen in the mechanical and electrical engineering field. Do you really want your Boeing 777 designed in some sweat shop in Thailand?
