Comment

If the industry hadn't commoditised itself so vigorously (just look at the tv adverts showing how you can be an expert on 30 grand in just 6 weeks study) and hadn't continuously sought the lowest price bid (why have an expert when you can have a graduate) then it might have had a career to offer.

The growth and growth of campanies through integration and acquisition in this sector has led to an accounting based culture that stifles creativity, stifles career and removes any idea of decent working environment.

IT has become the sweat-shop of the 21st century and nobody wants to work in a sweat-shop for 45 years.
