The issue is not finding a job, any job. I agree that if you're willing to work for, say, minimum wage, and relocate to Podunk, then you can probably find a job. But that's the rub, isn't it? How many experienced people are willing to work for puny pay and be forced to relocate when, quite frankly, they don't have to? In particular, how many are going to do it when they can simply transfer into another profession that pays better and doesn't require them to relocate? I am not aware of any mandate that requires you to work in networking simply because you're a CCIEr or simply because you have a lot of experience in it. Take the case of my highly experienced CCIE buddies who went back to UNIX admin-work. Sure, they COULD continue to be network guys if they were willing to take grand-mal paycut, but why should they when they can continue to get a nice UNIX redux paycheck? Therefore when people say there are no jobs, they don't mean that there are literally no jobs, they mean that the overall quality of the jobs has declined dramatically (something which I doubt anybody will seriously dispute) such that other options look mighty attractive by comparison. People will therefore leave this field not because there are literally no jobs, but because other fields other decidedly better opportunities. > > David Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71396&t=71143 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
