Who wouldn’t want to learn some new skills?

I’m a PICK programmer, 15 years ago I got trained on Cognos BI tools then shortly afterwards was made redundant. Next job didn’t need the Cognos skills so I’ve completely forgotten them, which is a shame as they would’ve been useful when I was again made redundant in March this year. Luckily for me there is still one large PICK user in commutable distance so here I am again doing PICK and nothing else – but contracting now. If I can spin this one out for another ten- fifteen years that’ll do for me but if I have to change again I’ll be up yon creek sans paddle

Who Dares Wins.

Who wouldn’t want to learn some new skills?

Due to been typecast in a dying language/industry? Especially when you can choose otherwise. Power to the people 🙂

Spending 9 months learning a dying trade and then doing it full time is not a good idea in my book. Also when you’re not getting wide enough experience to use it elsewhere.

Saturdays _and_ Sundays?The bastards.

I know, I’d never work somewhere which was so slack as to give you the whole WE off every week….

I must have missed the bit about the dying trade. My trade is so niche I wasn’t even aware that SAS was dying. It’s new-fangled to me
