The survey also finds out that only 13% of the Indian TCs have some
formal education in TechComm, rest of them lean it on the job. That
means Indian companies have to invest in internal training, mentoring of
entry-level writers and probably that's why the Indian entry-level
writers earn much less than their US counterparts.
--------------------------

Good point. Though, somehow I doubt that headhunters/beancounters around
the globe are concerned with how employees' salaries stack up with the
US. Salaries everywhere tend to reflect the local economy and general
cost of living. I'm sure that other professions are similarly
"underpaid". How about 4 or 5 Indian programmers for the price of 1
American? How about medical tourism offering airfare, a 5 star vacation
and hip replacement using stellar Indian doctors trained at Johns
Hopkins, no less) in a hospital/resort for about US$$10,000?
