But there are no jobs for the professionals such as writers and editors who “can’t build roads,”

Oh Bull Puckey. I hear that we are going to need lots of "green" installers who can screw solar panels down on the roof and attach a couple of wires. There's supposed to be infinite opportunity for green collar workers. A little humility and some re-education at the government training camps and they'll be ready to go win that $10/hour job!

As long as non technical people need sophisticated IT systems I think I am in pretty good shape.

I have spent 30 years refining and expanding my craft — system level, DBA level, application level, management level, functional level.

That is why I always keep “my hand in” when I am managing a project — it lets me keep my more basic tools sharp and also lets me bring them into the management realm.

Folks, you gotta be both deep and wide.

They can't write very good newspapers either, so why is this a problem?
