Well 25 years ago the same decisions had to be made and that was when the American Universities were outputting mainframe skills. So nothing will change in that respect. Although that I know of many of those experienced sysprogs out of work are coming back in at greatly reduced salaries :( to try and compete with India and the newbies. So a company can get an experienced sysprog pretty cheap today. So the first crop of newbies may be the ones to feel the problem in that if a company had to choose between a cheap newbie and a cheap experienced sysprog they'll go for the cheap experience for a little while, unless the experience starts to reach retirement age anyway and they shy away from them...
