I am an American who worked for a year at IBM in Argentina as a sort of "walk-in" after getting my job at a job fair here in Buenos Aires. Even working for a big firm like that expect bad pay (less than 4,000 gross), very little responsibility and snail-slow career progression. I was at the job...

The reason the US dollar is increasing in value is a simple question of supply and demand. It is, and will remain for sometime, the world's only reserve currency. The entire world has become quite pessimistic about the security of their investments and many are returning to the old adage that...
