I agree. It is definitely a great leveller.
As an aside, it is kind of ironic though that non-native speakers are
tutoring native kids in English, because if these same people (tutors)
were to take admission in a US university, they would have to first
clear the TOEFL, because English is not considered their first language,
yet here they are tutoring school kids who will
perhaps use what they are now learning as a foundation
to one day clear the SATs.
Another controversial area that the Internet has opened up is the
outsourcing of medical diagnostics (diagnosis?). Doctors who
have not the cleared the USMLE (was ECFMG) are diagnosing
or helping diagnose patients based on their radiology reports.
If the same doctors were physically present in the US, they would
not be able to do it, but just because they are based off-shore,
they don't seem to be subject to the same law.
