Outsource your job to earn more! - The Times of India

Outsource your job to earn more! - The Times of India:

Says a programmer on Slashdot.org who outsourced his job: "About a year ago I hired a developer in India to do my job. I pay him $12,000 out of the $67,000 I get. He's happy to have the work. I'm happy that I have to work only 90 minutes a day just supervising the code. My employer thinks I'm telecommuting. Now I'm considering getting a second job and doing the same thing."

Smarter techies are working for three to four companies at the same time, outsourcing all the coding and just supervising them for few hours a day. This way they are able to earn four to five time more than what they used to.

This is called the principle of 'comparative advantage', whereby you concentrate on you core strengths outsourcing the non competitive areas.

Jeez, that's creepy. "Comparative advantage." The global version of making the Mexicans chop all the onions.

See, the only problem here is when your employer finds out and goes straight to the source.
