M.B.A. Students Bypassing Wall Street for a Summer in India
I think that the people interning in India will experience such a great learning experience and get a better look at the real world and having a full time job. For example: Infosys Technologies, has given so many college students such a great experience that the company has had so many applications being sent to the company.
Here is a young man who personally had the experience to intern in India and he has said that it would look great on his resume when he goes to apply for jobs in the future.

Infosys Technologies, the country's second-largest outsourcing firm after Tata Consultancy Services, discovered how popular India had become as an internship destination for Americans when the company began recruiting: for the 40 intern spots at its Bangalore headquarters, the company received 9,000 applications. Only those with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.6 or more made it to a short list, and then they were put through two rounds of interviews.
The final 40, who cut a wide academic swathe from engineering schools like M.I.T. and Carnegie Mellon to business schools like Stanford, Wharton and Kellogg, have since arrived on campus for average stays of three months. The interns work in areas from marketing to technology. They live in a 500-room hotel complex on Infosys's expansive campus in the suburbs of Bangalore, exchanging coupons for meals at the food court and riding the company bus downtown to decompress at the many pubs and bars.

Among the Infosys interns is Caton Burwell, 28, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. "India has come to symbolize globalization and I wanted to participate in the workings of the global economy," he said. "Besides, it would look great on my résumé."

A much better post.
Yes, the more young Americans that get work experience around the world, especially in places like Bangalore, the better it will be for our economic future. Prepare for the global workplace
