Outsourcing

Magnolia, Ark is most definitely not anywhere close to Little Rock, in terms of close to the city. I do applaud any effort to retain the American workforce though, for better or worse; America in general has little to offer but a service industry. For the size and population of the country It's production value is appallingly bad.

At least someone, somewhere is attempting to constructively make a positive change, rather than simply whining.

Cheers

I lived in Arkansas for about 10 years (born in SoCal and am currently in SoCal).

I met 1 person in those 10 years there that I could honestly say could read and write without issues.
The schools system in Arkansas is a bit less than pathetic.

Arkansas is a 'right to work' state meaning the employee has little to no rights.

I had no problem making decent money there, I did not know another making anything near what I did (and that includes the lawyers and university professors at UofA).

I already know this is yet another way to exploit the country folk in Arkansas, as Wal-Mart, Tyson foods, JB Hunt, and ButterBall already does to an extreme level.

I say send those damn jobs to a real city (Dallas, NewYork, L.A., Chicago) where some reasonably intelligent folks could actually provide REAL tech support.

What a genius. You just named three Arkansans that made more money than you did. (the Waltons, Don Tyson and J.B. Hunt)

While we're at it, allow me to fix your grammatical errors:

#1
"I had no problem making decent money there, I did not know another making anything near what I did (and that includes the lawyers and university professors at UofA)."

This is an example of a run-on sentence. It Should be:
I had no problem making decent money there. I did not know another making anything near what I did (and that includes the lawyers and university professors at UofA).

#2
"I already know this is yet another way to exploit the country folk in Arkansas, as Wal-Mart, Tyson foods, JB Hunt, and ButterBall already does to an extreme level."

The plurality of subjects require a singular verb:

I already know this is yet another way to exploit the country folk in Arkansas, as Wal-Mart, Tyson foods, JB Hunt, and ButterBall already do to an extreme level.

Don't bother to thank me. I am always happy to help those with reading and writing issues.

Hmm ..., I have an uncle that's the Dean of Students at UALR - he might get a chuckle out of knowing what supposed salary you were making.

While on the subject, my other uncle (his brother) is a Systems and Software Engineer for NCTR (National Center for Toxilogical Research) in, of all places, Pine Bluff ! I don't suppose you met him either, did you ?

I see one, but can you fit both feet in that mouth of yours ?
