There is not a "shortage" of skilled IT people, and there never has been.
Really? In the last 22 years I've seen the quality of the skillsets diminish greatly. In the last 10 years or so, the amount of people coming into the field who are completely clueless far outweighs those with quality experience. There's lots of DBAs willing to work for $85,000/year, yes, but there aren't enough that are worth even the $75,000 you scoff at. Most DBAs I've met would make the world a better place if they worked at McDonald's flipping burgers. Similarly for SAs and most especially for programmers. Those putzes are the most overpaid in an industry dominated by crap software.
