RE: The Coming Job Boom

Steve, although it has been years for some of us - we were once the DBA in the diapers so remember to be gentle. I forgot just today.

I think some old geezer steered his monstous Cadillac fingers into a wrong turn on the keyboard highway. :-)

Peeking over the downhill side of life brings new perspective and I see that we're not getting older, we're just getting wiser. In "The Coming Wisdom Boom" our accumulated experience will command respect and enhanced compensation. The only downside to this vision is that we'll have to spend time potty training our juniors. Changing junior DBA diapers is a real mess.

Now, where did I leave my Leinenkugel medicine?

Oh it's okay... Paula lives in Florida... she has to be more tolerant of "old people in their monstrous Cadillacs, driving 40 mph in the passing lane"... and snowbirds

and bad humor... =)

I was wondering how one performed CPA though...

Paula, does that mean that the DBA of the future will have to learn how
to perform CPA and 
do a therapeutic massage? I have problems with surgery, except if done
on damagement.
We'll have to speak louder and be more tolerant to old people in their
monstrous Cadillacs, driving
40 mph in the passing lane and not use long beams, horn, our extremities
or the combination of
the above.

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.
