Hi Jon,

      I follow your statement but what other directions?


Well - for example - a very large number of midrange programmers (including
luminaries such as Roger Pence among others) started off as accountants,
bookkeepers, etc. and were trained in programming when their company brought
in a computer system.

Perhaps it is time to think about doing something similar.  Rather than
spend millions to attract a shrinking group of IT students, perhaps it is
time to consider training workers laid off due to outsourcing etc.
