This is what managements mantra is and I agree with it, However how many sysadmins here can trace a circuit board and make needed repairs. There are some but most of the new techs cannot. That is because the tools in the hardware area have been automated to the extent that hardware is yank and replace. Software tools will reach that goal sometime but until then there is work to be had. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Money for jobs?

I think lots of current IT workers see #1 but not #2. I wonder how many will hit #2 soon and be surprised by it; i.e. they don't see ossification in their own skill set. If not because of technology passing me by, I can at least see working myself out of a career out of sheer boredom. ;) Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

why does that need OO? - (tablizer) - (9) - Nov. 7, 2002, 01:38:12 PM EST
