Once in a while there is a thread where someone has just awesome planning and thought processes even while going against the grain. This makes me happy on a Saturday morning...

Where do rumours like this start? Database and "People's Soft" work is the highest paying, most in demand in IT? PeopleSoft went under a decade ago and wasn't big work then!

Oh sure, I expect the worst businesses to still be running ancient software. But they are already staffed with experienced people, experienced on their own setups. There will never be a market for newbies to start learning today and in five years have the experience necessary to be the junior guy on the team at a government shop that was a decade past end of life and is now a decade and a half out of date.
Running stuff old for ten years is... sad but reality. But starting the education to support something that old means your career can't last more than a year or two, if that, since you have to add in the time to get up to speed, get the education, land a job, get trained.... fifteen years old is pushing the limits even for most government. Sure, somewhere is going to go to twenty, even twenty five years, but at best that gives you a ten year career life, a very sad ten years always waiting for the other shoe to drop. But worse, a maximum of ten years where you are both the newbie with the least experience in the field (as every highly experienced person doing this since the 1990s is still looking for that work) and the foolish guy who went into a dead field long after it was dead.
