The secondary effect of a lack of jobs leads to the
tertiary effects of no curriculum and no internships and thus no reason
for college kids to invest time. The lack of an open source alternative
tunes out those who like and might be tempted to give it a try.
The IBM Academic Initiative is targeted in a way to help on this front,
but unfortunately by the time folks enter college they have been running
Windows/Linux/Mac OS and so they naturally gravitate that direction (my
son thinks the i is cool, but where he works is a Windows/Linux shop so
he doesn't get much exposure to IBM i or RPG).
We need a couple of large, solid business cases that promote the
strengths of the i. I work with K-12 education (mostly) and the
customers I had that have migrated to Windows world are struggling to
maintain the server farms that they have on shrinking budgets. The 2
and 3 person shops that manage hundreds of users 24/7/365 on the i don't
get much air time....
