Hello Rez, <sarcsasm BUT NOT TOWARDS YOU> There is a HUGE shortage of individuals who know absolutely everything about mainframes, comms, Windows, SAN, networking, security, disaster recovery, storage management, development, contract management, hiring and firing, purchasing of off-the-shelf software, project management and budget control, who are also young, photogenic and work 13 hours a day just for fun and who never disappoint management by making the mistake of thinking they are management's equals.
AND who are willing to do it all for $5,000 per year. </sarcsasm BUT NOT TOWARDS YOU > Just curious, are you in fact writing a paper on market demand for sysprogs? Or just looking for your next job? If the latter, you only need one job, not a statistical survey. If you already have one, work hard to be the best sysprog they ever had. The people on this list will help you when you need it. If you don't have a job, or you want to change, your time will be better spent checking out Monster.com as suggested by a poster, and exploring the opportunities in your local area, than by trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing by sticking your finger in the air and wondering about market demographics all over the world. (I humbly submit that it's blowing from India) Focus, focus! and good luck Jim (apologies for the legalese that gets appended to my post) **************************************************************** IMPORTANT The information transmitted is for the use of the intended recipient only and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged material.
