More than 400,000 cutting edge technology jobs are not filled at this moment due to the shortage of qualified people. Even students who don't go into technology-related fields, however, need to be computer literate. Recruiters agreed that it isn't as important that a graduate know how to use a lot of software programs as it is for her to know the concepts that can be applied to many programs. Also, employees must be eager to learn as the technology changes.
