The key takeaway from this article should be that 1980's-style resume and application bombing doesn't work, nearly as well as it used to. The market moved on and became more advanced. Using 1980's skillsets and techniques will yield the same disappointing results that using 1980's technology does.

My favorite part is where the journalist points out that those that are better educated earn more. Ceteris paribus, one would think it would be obvious that a better product / tool / employee would be worth more.

Ceteris paribus == "all other things being equal"
That econ course is paying off for all of us I see :)
