During the 90's I often spent a lot of time training lab techs and chemists to do technical writing and admins to do DTP because all the experienced
people had been sucked up by the dotcoms. History repeats itself with
surprising consistency no matter what part of the world it's occurring in.

Thank you Rachna, for your detailed and convincing explanation! Some of
it sounds a lot like the US tech industry in the 90s, when TWs could
get hired to write user guides with little more than an English degree,
and salaries kept going up and up.

Your mention of apprenticeship was interesting too. In the US, it seems
companies only want to hire you after somebody else has paid to train
you.
