[url="http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/3951.asp"]http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/3951.asp[/url][/QUOTE] I know that, in the medical field, radiology is often outsourced, since they can simply send the image of the x-rays to India digitally for analysis. Most manufacturing jobs have already gone overseas, and most service jobs will follow. Basically, if you provide a service that does not have to be done in person, such as programming, tax preparation, tech support, financial services, etc, your job will be outsourced sooner or later.
