Change your advisers! Tell them to get their noses out of their little toy computers and look at the real world. Mainframe sales are bouyant and more "MIPS" are usually sold than the previous year. MIPS need programmers.

No, no, they're right. I would suggest that no one becomes a mainframe programmer.
