How severe is the IT Outsourcing risk??

[Z064life]

Hi,

I am a .NET Developer (with strong experience in AD, DNS, Hyper-V, Sharepoint, etc).

A family member also works in IT, in PM, and used to be a dev/dba 20 yrs ago (so experienced on paper etc).


Now I always hear about IT being outsourced and being a major risk.


Question is, just how severe the risk? I find plenty of jobs available. Should I be worried? If so, how can I outsource-proof myself (the above skills - sys admin from dev - does help) and aren't other industries like accounting, which are equally office-based jobs, getting outsourced?

Also, what reply can I give to negate the argument of outsourcing (and a very credible one)?

Thanks
