"Talent" is one of those words that we should erase from you dictionary. Personally, I don't believe in "talent".
The industry thinks you're "talented", usually, if you're a jack of all trades and managed to get things done without having in consideration if understand what you're doing or if you're just a tutorial driven guy ( aka the design who uses a js hype framework and become an engineer in 4 weeks). For me this heart breaking because I actually enjoy my work despite the bad days everybody faces at it.
Every 3 years or so you need to reinvent yourself and learn new stuff and still be productive! People think that getting you of college means that you're production ready and that you don't need time to learn or even 1 week off to be updated.
The "talent" shortage is just another way of saying:"We don't find enough cheap jacks of all trades out there that can handle everything. It's quite bad because we need to hire expensive managers that won't train then and make (force) them solve to tickets no matter what."
