RE: WANTED - RPG TALENT--Global issue We need to Act on this......I'm trying

It's true that there are a lot of colleges everywhere pushing anything but
RPG and the AS/400 and a lot of the graduates don't even have to move.
Maybe I'm wrong, I personally know of quite a few people, including myself,
with over 10 years of experience in Midrange computers that are just
chomping at the bit to do more RPG programming.  I have been doing PC and
network work for the last 6 months because that is what is in the area here.
Personally, they drive me nuts and I'd love to have another RPG contract.
All some of us are looking for is more work via Client Access or some other
remote access setup from our homes with occasional travel to meeting, etc.
The C, Unix, etc, crowd seems to have no trouble finding these telecommuting
positions or contracts.  Is it any wonder these are more enticing to the
college grads?  If anyone knows of such a position, let me in on the secret.

With respect to this ongoing challenge re:

Talent, qualified talent, available talent, affordable talent.. good talent
is always......hard 2 find:)

Our companies need to solve this ever increasing challenge... may I suggest
some real hard $ investments & free consulting time to be given to our local
colleges.. & how about all those old defunct machines, who's leases are dead
& have no value , not even for the recycled solder (gold connections) etc...
any thoughts on this.. shouldn't we be the ones to drive these issues, and
stop be-moaning the fact that if we do not take active participation in our
community, we really can't don't or should'nt except much support in the way
of new grads.. future wiz's in technology and the application of technology
to real world systems..:(
