Participant[quote]Who says you can’t accumulate great experience in academia? I didn’t mean fresh out of grad school.
I know at least couple folks in UCSD that are Senior Programmers for at least 5-8 yrs and I consider them excellent. Some people like the laid back lifestyle of academia, the flexibility and the unbeatable benefits of academia and for them money is not an major consideration.[/quote]
When I interviewed with google two years ago, they mentioned that they preferred hiring IT folk from Uni environments.

ParticipantI’ll add that there is also nothing wrong with being under-employed.
I’m making about half what someone with my experience should be, but that is by deliberate choice. I’m basically trading salary for security, benefits and more free time.

Question: Anyone want to comment if radiologists are being outsourced to overseas doctors??? Don’t know. But that seems like to be a possibility. Anything seems to be a possibility with this outsourcing fear.
[/quote]Yup! There is even a term for it.

Telemedicine in general is a *huge* growth area. I know a few IT folks working in that arena, in fact.
However, I’ll comment that the outsourcing is more likely to go to another US hospital rather than overseas.
A great example of how nothing is safe from outsourcing is InvisiAlign. It’s basically off-shoring orthodontic work to Costa Rica.
Note that this hasn’t exactly put American orthodontists out of business. Patients still need to see a local dentist during the treatment process.
The whole trick with outsourcing is to embrace it and figure out how to benefit from it, vs. fighting it.
