IT jobs...are the gonna last for ever?

[Code]

The new idea(and process of making one) of a new(or better) product, is not a revenue earner. In fact, it's more of a risk than, say hiring an IT employee.

R&D is indeed overhead.

I'm sorry man, but I can't really respect any of your opinions on this thread if that is truly what you believe.

We have a LOT more non-overhead personel in my company then just sales. Who do you think is DESIGNING, DEVELOPING, and TESTING our products?
