Do not know about you, but on average, most of the guys I see in the industry are woefully inept and incompetent. I am shocked they get paid anything even close to the amount they do. If one thing is for certain, we definitely need BETTER guys out there. However, it seems like, most companies do not realize what good people are. Such a disparity only helps in the downturn. What is sad is, instead of appreciating technical ability and learning capacity, most companies are doing a fire sale and axing what few good people they have. While some of the incompetent upper management survive due to nepotism and what not. So, while I agree a downturn is occurring, I do NOT agree that there is an "oversupply" of qualified individuals. I would say 60-80% of the "IT" people I meet are inadequate. -Carroll Kong Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=35826&t=35611 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
