IT is a knowledge industry
Do not forget this fact that we in IT have chosen a knowledge profession. As pointed out in your article do not be afraid to learn. I too, do not understand when I hear the statements, "....I haven't been offered the training...". You must be proactive in managing your own career and to do that requires continuous learning. Analogy: would you go to a doctor that stopped learning after his/her internship 30 years ago?
