No, not really. And that goes for every job. The idea that if some job is no longer valued by the market we can just retrain people to <job of the week> is so wrong it isn't funny anymore. People have different talents. Not everyone can be everything. > These tech companies cannot hire enough engineers. They had to bring H1B workers from India, for example. This has been refuted at least half a dozen times on HN already. They brought those people in as cheap labor forces, not because of some shortage.
