Re: Broken labor market for workers in the IT industry
I suppose, there are various clever ways to overcome this barrier for entering the field.
But it's like people need to weasel their way in, with employers looking at them with a lot of suspicion and distrust. This kind of thing is undignified. And it's sure to turn off some of the best people, who have many other opportunities.
Why would a really clever guy try weasel his way into a cyber security job, when he can study medicine and have a clear path from school to work?
I realize that nobody is doing this on purpose. Everybody is behaving in a way that looks logical and reasonable to them.
If you look at it as a computer program, then you can't point to any individual line of code and say that this is what's causing the problem. Because the problem is spaghetti code. It's slapped together without any rhyme or reason. It works in a way. But it's difficult to change. And it's causing a lot of problems.
