Let's face it, there's no longer a real solution in the old "learn a new skill option" is there? Apart from the fact that the agents/HR doorkeepers will ignore any skills not utilised in a commercial setting, you're always going to get those willing to undercut you - if not from India, then from Poland or Rumania or the local tech.
So perhaps the Atw route - find something for which you believe there will be commercial demand in the future, but that needs a lot of donkey-work putting in? Fine, but how do we choose this? It's easy to find something that requires a lot of research and/or data entry (see my website!) but a lot harder to choose something that will bring in income at a later date. I suspect even Atw was sweating on this point at one time - kudos to him for perservering with his project.
I suppose I'm looking for Plan B ideas in the IT/web arena.
