Good point.....but to confirm the condition,
ask any mainframe programmer if his value is going up or down in today's
marketplace.
today:
Cobol programmers: $30 per hour
Java Programmers: $120 per hour
VB programmers: $60 per hour
5 years ago it was:
Cobol programmers: $60 per hour
Java Programmers: $0 per hour (didn't EXIST !)
VB programmers: $40 per hour
My, my....things do change. It all begins with an event or "trend change".
