@elizabethv:
Yes, i would hope for the same and look forward for ays to come where he would choose a filed of his own.
Coming to saturation, we never know. With the way things are evolving there could bemany more advncements in AI and Robotics fields and they still prettu much align with technology. so you certainly have more to look forward.

Re: Lack of Skilled Employees
@srufolo1 - maybe people's initial thought is that a job in telecommunications would mean digging holes and running cable lines and that just doesn't doesn't preferable for a lot of people anymore. I think manual labor jobs are the ones that are really going to be hurting the most in the next 5+ years.

Re: Learning skills in a short period of time
@Joe - Lol, good gravy the YouTube videos today have got to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for human intellect. I hope anyway. If it gets lower than this..... But you're right, some people do choose to parent with television. YouTube is banned in my house. My kids currently believe it's illegal - and I'm just fine with that.

Re: Where are they?
@afwriter - UoP previously had some shady policies. I haven't worked for them for years so I can't speak at all to what it's like now. They would tell students that they could take course work for Healthcare Management and lead them to believe it would help them become a nurse. They got away with it because it isn't entirely incorrect, but no one graduated with that degree and then became a nurse in just a few short steps. So my inclination is to believe that the Cyber Security degree was similar. But I could be way off base too. Cyber Security and nursing aren't exactly the same thing. :-)

Re: Where are they?
@ms.akkineni - Without a doubt those skills will be helpful! Even if he chooses to get into a different career, he might be able to move up within the company to a different department or something. He could always find it useful later in life. I would also think if he's in high school now, he's at the perfect age to still be useful in the technology field. I worry by the time my kids are adults that field will be saturated.

Lack of Skilled Employees
I don't see how telecommunications does not sound interesting enough for students to want to get into that field. It would seem there are so many opportunities in telecommunications with the proper training. AT&T has the right idea to train its employees.
Re: Where are they?
Yes, certainly different train of thought.

Re: Where are they?
@ms.akkineni - it does make you think differently. And yes, actually employees are the way that deliver service and value - so it makes great sense.
Re: Where are they?
@DHagar:
Very interesting to know about these companies making this statement 'employees first, customer second..', which is not so common. But if we think further, by saying employees first, employees would be very very motivated and that automatically yields into excellent results for company. That in turn would impact in customer satisfaction anyways. Pretty interesting approach.
Re: Where are they?
Thanks. That value based approach would help to boost their motivation levels for sure as opposed to the thinking of just learning another computer thing, as you stated.
