You need to understand when most projects are outsourced, the need for more project managers here is reduced. Which is bad. I've seen in many companies, that when the economy goes bad, the first thing to cut are project managers and functional roles, except for the top level roles such as IT manager/Director. They just keep the most technical and technical lead guys.

Holey moley, Dixie. Here, guys. The breakdown is fascinating. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/votes/house/healthcare/index.html?hpid=topnews My thought is with > 2 parties in power, they'll be a lot harder to buy off. I often cannot see the difference between the D/R idiot.

Need help : want to get OUT of IT

Leverage your IT experience to get OUT of IT Can you slowly transition into a NON IT job at your current employer ? A math degree should allow one to go into business management at least on the finance end. Consider your IT experiences as SUPPORTING a NON IT business. You don't have an IT career but were a SUPPORT professional for a NON IT business.

**** If I were to buy a full-service policy at my age, it would cost at least $10k/year, ... and that's if I stay relatively healthy, they raise the premiums (a lot!) if you make major claims. But under this bill, they *can't* raise premiums (a lot!) anymore based on claims - so instead, they will have to raise the base rate - by how much? Take your guess. I'll say very conservatively (!), $2,000. But wait, there's more!...

Here's my take. A contract between two entities is a contract. It can have whatever terms the two parties agree to include as long as it doesn't violate State or Federal law. The non-solicitation clause generally prohibits you from soliciting employees or customers of the agency or of the end-client and persuading them to leave and come work with/for you or someone else....

Odds are there will be one or two. If a Pakistani MD in England can be persuaded to be Jihadist and try to blow up an airport parking lot, so can some nut with an H1B. But then there is no more reason to think an H1B will be more dangerous than an immigrant. What was Mohammed Atta's status?

It's clearly competition from low wage countries that produced the Rust Belt and maybe now the Info Crust.
