Karen is correct - there are thousands of highly skilled IT people doing other jobs just because they know more than the people who are recruiting them.
When you look at what the government mandates as IT training in schools there is no wonder that we have a shortage of entry level candidates. The course content is puerile and superficial - furthermore we don't yet have typing on the National Curriculum,
reading = yes
writing = yes
maths = yes
typing = no
today we read from PCs
we use PCs for maths
we write on PCs
but nobody in government has worked out the productivity improvements and learning enhancements that come from teaching 9 & 10 year olds to type.
