Your article is timely. There is acute shortage of manpower in every field with youngsters moving to IT and BPO sector. Marketing is wide open with fewer takers. Till retirement in 2003 I thought I was a misfit in marketing as my superiors were only extracting and very seldom thought of rewarding me. Today things have changed. I have graduated into a marketing adviser and now I sell my ideas at a much higher price. I could never dream of a holiday during my career even to a nearby hill station but today I indulge in at least one foreign travel a year !!!
