You really have to be careful about any career choice. Anything that has a chance of being outsourced these days probably will be. With the cost of education and training, you want to assure that you can pay off the loans as well as be able to minimally support yourself.

I'm not sure what those choices would be. I myself continue on with my specialized software trade and have been lucky so far. Perhaps a specialized niche is you best bet against being outsourced. Repair/service technician, medical specialist/therapist, business/project manager, or any service jobs connected with a resort area would be among the tough ones to move off shore. Commodity type work, such as generic software development and maintenance, manufacturing, help desks, basically anything that does not require a physical presence, are all fair game. Lately it's been publishing, and now even some food production.

So think twice before asking the boss if you can work from home! You might start looking like an outsourcing candidate.

As far as that law firm is concerned, they should complete the cycle and relocate to India.
