An excellent book with a chapter (more or less) on scam artists of this ilk is "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America" by Barbara Ehrenreich. Basically, this woman (she's a journalist) takes off her white collar and tries to see how minimum-wage America lives. In the process she visits one of these motivational/career building/whateversnakeoil salespersons just like the spammer to whom I am here replying.

I found it interesting that the only 2 non-jobs groups to which this was posted were quasi-electronics-related.

I think it is the same person who wrote the book "Bait and Switch" which details the same thing for us "white collar" workers who: Got an advanced education Got the job skills Did the networking and still can't get work due to off shore outsourcing and similar. Just the premise is kind of chilling - What do we tell our kids to do when the "suits" have removed our sources of income in their relentless drive to the bottom? I suppose they'll get their due when the only ones left in America are the rich and the poor and there is no one to sell their widgets to... ... Hmm, that was just too cynical. Time for a dandelion break.

There's a backlash on offshoring starting - it costs far more than it seems (which the pros could have told the PHBs in the first place had they been smart enough to ask) and it also costs customers when the offshoring is customer support.

There are companies in the UK making hay out of 'our call centres are open 24 hours and are in the UK'.

So there's hope yet ;)

Cheers

I don't think the pessimism is warranted. Read this article I wrote: . I'd also point you to my latest book, but you'd have to buy it :)
