If you'll say there more than a million, it would only be around 2-3% of the total IT industry. which is still quite small. which means sooner or later it would disappear. It's just like your on an old house surrounded by new ones. sooner or later you would renovate yours.

correct.. but i think it will take long.. coz there are still some companies willing to stay in low level programming because it can easily communicate with hardware devices..

agility is the name of the game, the times will always change in it, if you fail/refuse to adapt and innovate -- and maybe be dumb enough not to see that your technology(or tech-religion) is going down, then down you shall go with them..

don't stop learning and quit listening what others predict to be IN and OUT in future. develop your skill because you love it not because everyone like it.

these are of clients robert half technology(Robert Half Technology ? Information Technology Consultants ? IT Staffing Services ,it & programming firm,contract - permanent positions.)

all i know when i did the interview that the job was for a company that works with the us gov so citizen was a must-have, so there was no way i could get it with my lack of cobol and fortran and even little powerbuilder skill,

i could sum it that the company was either a "financial" tied with the us gov, or a facility of the us gov,

the thing with roberthalf is with the big clients they have, they dont want to let you know what the company name is, because i have been told by my previous recruiter back in 2006 he said " if we did that, we wont make the $ because you would probably google it and apply direct and we dont want that"

also that company was looking for embedded system programmers which i dont have no experience with. so my plan next year is to get my masters in uwm, get new certified and after 11 years of being an immigrant ill finally pursue citizenship (hey i was a kid i didnt know what i want )
