RE: Developers Training themselves vs. waiting for employers

Yes, I agree with you, Scott, and thank you, Charles, for the link (btw, Alan, it works for me)

Unfortunatelly, it won't make any difference; the "good" employers don't need to read this article because they know how to behave with their IT employees; the other 99% won't understand nothing, anyway! I remember one of the former presidents was questioning my time-line for an EDI project, but he didn't even know what EDI stands for! And btw, this year most of the employees got a raise, except, you guessed, the IT Department (and we are talking here about two people, me and my boss)

All,

Since the "you are responsible for your career" has come up a few
times on this list, I thought I'd pass this along.

I'm firmly in the "If you are a professional, then you are responsible
for your own career." camp, but Mark makes some excellent counter
points and I for one will be passing the post onto my management. :)
