 >> You can't teach something that student's don't want to learn (or attend).
  >> "RPG isn't cool".  In fact, the trend is that IT isn't that cool anymore.



The last line here raises an interesting point.  The problem of staffing is
_not_ an AS/400 issue anymore - it is an industry wide problem.  IT is not sexy
right now, so we need to expand our recruitment efforts.



It saddens me that a platform that was founded on the notion of training
Accountants and others in how to program (Al does that ring a bell ?) is now
trailing other areas in the industry in terms of dealing with staff shortages by
recruiting and training their own people.
