That's what got us in this situation. I once worked for a company where there were six layers between me and the manager of my division. There were two more layers below me!

Here's the problem, J. Of all those folks, only 20% will be pure engineers.

You'd be surprised to find that many of them majored in chemical engineering, civil engineering and other ridiculous domains like Bachelor of Economics, Literature etc. So where's the connection to computer engineering?

Another problem with IT programming, anyone can learn.

Umm anyone can "learn", but how many will truly be good at it? Hey anyone can learn to be a surgeon too, right? That's the problem, good programmers/engineers are not valued because the majority of managers out there have absolutely no technical background whatsoever.

Yup. Too many chefs spoil the broth.
