using a specific language so the language being taught in the class is irrelevant.”
- Student Viewpoint: “I paid for and took the courses but now can’t find a job”

- Consultants are used to build the new systems and internal IT staff maintain the old
systems
- Internal staff are at employment risk once the new systems are put into production

3. There is no job security in the IT profession
IT professionals must remain technically current to remain employed or
contracted
It is harder to stay technically current as an employee

the benefits employees get
IT professionals need to learn the art of Professional Consulting as well as
programming languages to succeed in business
The Bottom Line

4. Recommendations:
