Do you really think a degree would matter for these people?



Yes, it would have. I didn't say they were incapable of learning new ways of doing things, only that they had never been forced to, and getting motivated and out of their comfort zones with VB proved difficult. Just because the corp culture was changing, they did not lose jobs - just got to maintain existing products, rather than develop new ones.
