Companies seem to prefer to send work off shore than train graduates. I steered my kids away from IT for this reason.

NASA nixes Trump's moonshot plan

I suppose their incompetent boss thinks this will help retain customers... Ha

It just show's that the British arnt the only ones who are fedup with the EU.

Bet the people who were replaced by our 'best shore' friends will be smiling!
