More specifically, 67% of the available IT jobs will be for managerial/senior professionals, including software experts but mainly ICT managers and IT strategists/planners; 17% will be for technicians (operations, support), 8% will be for skilled tradesmen (telecoms/computer engineers). The remaining 8% of IT jobs will be for administrative techies, such as database assistants.

Given that the manager / wannabee manager / techie ratio on my current project is approx 8:4:2 this does not bode well.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -
You're gonna have to give us some context here, doodab. If this is an article from the BBC it's going to be a different set of responses you'll get to if it's just some graffiti you've copied off of the ClientCo's toilet wall, old chap. -
Just have to build up to senior professional then. 20 odd years should do it, in your mid forties.

I find it hard to believe the UK needs an additional 99,160 IT managers a year for 8 years (that's more than 3/4 of a million) and the idea that 86,430 of them per year will beseems frankly dangerous.people moving into the IT/Telecoms space from an unrelated occupation, or from education, or from some other type of “inactive” status (such as a carer).While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Ah, thank you. It doesn't seem to add up, does it?; that there would be a need for more managers than people to be managed? Having said that, I've worked in some places large and small where everybody seemed to be Director of Printing, VP Maker of Tea or some other such pretentious title that mysteriously didn't have any actual responsibility or involve actually managing any other person.Originally posted by doodab View PostComment

This has been the hope and strategy of the UK (as well as the US) for the past 30 years I guess: to turn into a country of managers. Who's left to manage? Well, developing nations. But why are they called developing? Because they're developing their own economies, including their own waffling managers and entrepreneurs to usurp the BS. What is left then for the West? It will be a case of:

But if we import indians to do the managing won't that balance out. They can sit in the corner and manage each other and the contractors can get on with the work.Originally posted by darrenb View PostWhile you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.
