I think part of the fault is the education system. It tends to give nerds more nerd courses and "people-people" more social-oriented education. It should be the '''reverse''' in my opinion.

Anti-social techy jobs are now too easy to export to low-wage countries. from ItsaPeopleB''''''usiness by 67.73.12.40
