I just want to add that a lot of my jobless (and semi-employed), nontechnical friends would gladly jump into a good, entry-level position that would train them. What's sad is most of the entry-level work I see across most fields could be done with a minimum of training, even though employers insist on a college degree.

There's a lot of computing grunt work that I would love to pawn off on a junior, but our hiring funnel is so messed up...
