In 2002, when I was looking at colleges and deciding what to do with my life, I received advice that I shouldn't go into programming, because outsourcing was going to make all the programming jobs go away.

Hopefully that's enough evidence that someone took the time to process what you wrote, and you use the feedback to write better.
