In my experience, because somewhere out there is a bunch of educational
institutions turning out so-called "experts" who get hired by countless
thousands of businesses who somehow manage to convince the "powers that be"
that implementing, configuring, and managing an Internet presence is a task
best performed by "kids" with little or no experience in Systems/Network
design/administration simply because the "internet" is such a "new"
technology that any dinosaur Administrator/Engineer over 36 years of age is
hopeless to understand it, or that it's so simple it can be managed by the
VP of Marketing.

Thank goodness for these "kids", if they weren't out there making a mess out
of things, I wouldn't have nearly as much work coming my way.  Most of my
contracts start out as a plea for help to clean up one of these messes.
