The International Herald Tribune has a fascinating story on the nascent phenomenon of hiring out personal assistant service and tutoring services to countries like India. The story tells of a management consultant in New York who "routinely farms out the administrative chores of her life - making travel arrangements, hair appointments, restaurant reservations and buying show tickets - to a personal-assistant service, in India."

Why don’t you employ some one in our own country?
Because people in India will work harder for less money.
But good question, Michael, and be sure to follow your heart instead of your intellect in future endevours; it seems to be doing you well.
I think this is a disgrace to America, While
100′s of people here don’t have jobs.Your hiring foreign people who don’t speak well
just to save a buck. No wonder why America
is going down the tubes!!!
yeah – thatll learn em!
