Outsourcing jobs

Recently saw this video about 30 Days of outsourcing courtesy my friend. It was the story of a US software engineer who lost his job to outsourcing. He comes to India where his job has been outsourced to find what it is like to work in India for US.

The video is good, at least it gives a overall picture of outsourcing, how it affects both the people and the corporations of both outsourcing nation and the outsourced nation, I hope the term i used makes sense.

He makes the following findings..
1. he lost his job not because he was less talented, but because Indians were much cheaper and very much flexible.
2. the job which was feeding about 3 in his family, is feeding about 6 in his family and making fortunes for them. 
He goes back happy seeing that the people here need hos job more than himself. Makes me think, am i here just because i am cheap?? so anyone cheaper than me means i am done? oops!.
