[clue-talk] Management and Positions of Power: Fewer IT professional and Engineers?

[rex evans]

The recent SNAFU in electronic voting
made me wonder if (and how) ITpros and
Engineers had been involved, Especailly
In Management.

Let me go to the more general question that I
would like to ask.
Is there a Trend toward fewer IT professionals 
and Engineers in management?

In the 1960's top corporate managers of 
companies like AT&T were degreed engineers.

My view:
This has changed at the top, and trickled down
to the point that now, many first line managers
do not have very much technical training or
experience.

I know this may sound like a woe-is-us invitation,
but on the flip side, are we so PC that we cannot
talk about systemic problems that affect us?

I am going from a few data points here, and
asking if any of you see this trend? Yes/No
