I don't know if it's the universities, did you see the SearchDataCenter.com article on best places to build a new data center. http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid80_gci12 38054,00.html?track=NL-455&ad=576189USCA&asrc=EM_NLT_894417&uid=663533 or http://tinyurl.com/2uq59x (you may need to register to access the article, I am not sure, if so, my apologies) Where the The Boyd Company Inc. replied to: "It may be cheaper to hire someone in Sioux Falls, but is there any talent there to hire?" With "Boyd said yes, either through local university connections or younger people willing to relocate." And "Dakota State University, for example, is only an hour outside of Sioux Falls and has several undergraduate and graduate degree programs in computer science and information systems. That makes for an ideal talent pool for Sioux Falls' employers to draw from." They don't say what happens when there's a problem in your new $16+ Million data center and all you are staffed with are people that learned all they know in a University. I have a son getting an MIS degree and as much as I love him, I wouldn't want him to be the only one fixing my major problem until he gets quite a few years of real world experience (from someone that has some).
