But databases can still be taught merged into computing surely? And such work is easy to train people into understanding it. Regardless of what you study, you will still require training for most jobs out there. I remember doing my work experience from school in an office type job. A group of 4 or 5 people huddled around a circular hub of computers doing word / excel / database stuff. No one else in the group I was put to work with - all much older full time employees even knew how to change their desktops. When I showed them how, one still didn't realize the 'full screen' button for the smaller tile based wallpapers. A woman in the group jokingly commented 'OMG you shouldn't know more than we do, we've been working here a lot longer, you're fired!'.
Typical office job clowns that IT degrees are created for....
Then I showed them how to change their mouse cursors to moon walking dinosaurs on my last day before I left, and I was only 15
Yea that's true.. But computing is completely different to ICT, merging them probably wouldn't work.. And you're also right about training, however havign the qualifications is needed in order to get the job in the first place.. And it does help, even if the programs are new.
