Bean counters make way for button pushers

Article Abstract:

The implementation of the single European currency is likely to bring commercial consolidation in the UK. This will in turn increase demand for information technology (IT) graduates, especially in the financial services and retail sectors, where companies will move into new regions. IT graduates able to programme in languages Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi will be in particular demand, as will those familiar with databases and able to develop intranets. Senior management positions may eventually be open to graduates who can offer both IT skills and other professional qualifications.
