[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2251118, member: 30309"] From an IT standpoint, I can tell you that finding talented employees is always a challenge. They are hard to find, hard to keep. Those that work hard, understand their trade and know their worth command a pretty penny. I would rather have a member of my IT staff with a few years of real world experience than a college grad fresh out of school. Hint: the guy with a couple years under his belt is ALWAYS worth more. The guy with the degree is not necessarily worth more on the merits of his degree alone. I've fired a guy holding a bachelors in programming because he couldn't write a simple C# program to read the contents of a directory. All my applicants are tested before I will even consider an interview unless I am hiring for an entry level position. My most successfull candidates are those that have to give 2 weeks notice at the CURRENT job in order to start working on my team. they usually stay the longest and are paid the best too. [/QUOTE]
