Outsourcing jobs has become increasingly popular and easier due to technology. The outsourcing of jobs is when a job is sent overseas. Sometimes it is referred to as off-shoring. The reason for out-sourcing is that workers in poor countries offer cheaper labor than do workers in more advanced countries. This is said to widen the gap between the rich and the poor. But what about the people in between? What does outsourcing mean for the middle-class, working Americans that are losing their jobs because it is being transferred to some other country to somebody who will do it for less money? More specifically, how is this going to affect this middle class generation’s job future?
I would like to research the trends and patterns of outsourcing, and determine that if it continues like it is for the next few years, what will the job outlook be for me when I graduate around the year 2010 if I choose a major within the field of Informational Sciences? What is the ultimate affect of outsourcing on the American community with jobs related to informational sciences?

You have an interesting research question, but it seems broad. There are a lot of facets of off-shoring, so it might be easier to narrow your research to one of them. Of course I haven't done any research on it so you would probably know better about the amount of information you will be able to gather.
