RE: Future Programmers - The future of IBM i

HEY!!! What's wrong with a tech school? I graduated from a tech school, and work at a tech school, and have hired many programmers over by 35 years from tech schools. I have found programmers from tech schools to be better prepared to hit the ground running over BS school graduates or master degree graduates who want to deal more with concepts and current trends and big picture than coding and keeping the business running efficiently. Don't get me wrong. Every organization needs someone thinking about the future and staying aware of what the world is doing but I would only want one of those for every 10 programmers.

Yeah. Most of the schools on the list are tech schools or junior colleges which kind of equates a career with welding or refrigeration repair.
