RE: The Coming Job Boom

That's nice but what if the companies outsource overseas in response to this concern - hmmm. Still on the up-side they won't be able to do this in all cases and so overall there will likely be a positive demand for DBA skills in relation to the "ageing" of our Nation. However, how's about (having elderly parents) you are a DBA with experience in the

-medical areas

The big demand in the workforce will be related to the healthcare industry and spin-offs or retirement issues as the "aging" population will require this. Interesting to see what it does to our healthcare industry, pharme., medicine. It is insane what the medical profession costs in this country in the face of an "aging" population with much more and not less need for medical care.

Sorry - some O.T. coming up.

Sounds similar to the economic theories of Harry S. Dent, Jr. -- it's all based on birth-rate.
