Reply #18: Relatively safe: Molecular Biologist

[tom_paine]

I have worked in genetic technology & disease research and also production of biological research products.

(I don't wish to give out anymore details about my personal life or situation, so please bear with my relative ambiguity)

I am not 100% safe, and I am sure that there are foreign biologists who could do the jobs that I have done, but given the nature of the work and the fact that some of the work I currently do would be nearly impossible to effectively outsource,I am mostly OK.

But that was merely the luck of the draw and the luck of having career interests that ran outisde of prime outsourcing targets.

I am also not naive enough to think that in the Age of BushPutinism, that ANYONE is safe from outsourcing... or being "Katrina'd" for that matter.
