Paragraph to requote in articles...
... about the failing education system or the need for more H-1B visa recipients:

Last fall, an analyst at research firm Gartner predicted a shortage of technology professionals in the United States in the near future, thanks to factors such as declining student interest in the tech field. But a study in 2004 from research organization Rand did not find evidence that shortages of scientific, technical, engineering and mathematics personnel in the U.S. work force were on the horizon. And earlier this year, Gartner predicted that by 2010, the number of IT staff in the profession will shrink by 15 percent.

If companies need IT people and cannot find applicants with the right qualifications, starting internally, then let them retrain someone.

This opinion is not hostile to anyone; it's about self-preservation for all those in the US who have already committed themselves to an IT career and would have great practical difficulties in making a change.
