    That's not how I read the article.

    The monthly market reports of 2005 regularly reported surges in demand for SAP skills across the board. This has been a very profitable area through the last year, and Dettmar expects to see that continue. 'We've seen the best year to date for SAP and we expect to see that increase in the New Year as they introduce new modules.'"

    Looks like loads of money for those who can get into SAP. Thank God people like me and Milan have a head start on this!

    Looks like they have interviewed a bunch of nervous COBOL programmers who are happy to cling on to their little £40/hr contract as they have done for the last 10 years, trembling with fear every year as they beg for a renewal, trying to learn .net at the weekend just in case they are asked to upskill....

    I do a bit of COBOL now and then and I can tell you that there is no way I get anything near that, more like double!

    Blimey, I remember doing Foxpro v1 back in the day. Then again I also did LINC and SuperBase, so I was really scraping the barrel at the time.

    Right.....
