Let's assume for argument's sake that the government is perpetuating the hi tech "skills shortage" myth. Can you speculate why the government would do such a thing? > I was recently at NAIT and NAIT itself also continues to say that an IT > education at NAIT gets you jobs. This is completely false.

The college has its own agenda, and does not really care if students get hurt in the short term. My question is, though, how can they get away with it? Is no one complaining? Surely if it became public that NAIT is deliberately misleading students this cannot be good for NAIT. > Being a CST grad I have not been able to find IT work for 2 years.
