Twitter me this...

I was checking in and out of twitter last night as I worked on my articles and I noticed in that time that two separate people had asked about outsourcing jobs to other countries such as the Philippines. I wondered why they would do that, so I asked. The answer was that a lot of mundane jobs such as small writing jobs and social marketing blurbs were often outsourced to other countries because people in the US just don't want to do them. Poppycock! I know a good many Grandmothers who would like the extra money! I'm not suggesting that we work for sub-standard wages but a few pennies here and there may interest some WAHGs, right? Well, more on this as I find out about it, but please leave me comments on whether you might enjoy getting work tossed your way in the future. More later!

  1. The reason they outsource those jobs is because the "foreigners" charge very little.

    I agree with you that lots of grandmas would love to do this work at home and get some extra money.
