When I Grow Up

It was all the rage at our XChange Solution Provider show this month, and it's been the biggest hit on ChannelWeb video ever since: When I Grow Up--a look at some kids who really get the channel.

Laughs aside, Larry Hooper sees some bigger implications for solution provider and channel hiring:

"Because for all the talk I hear of solution providers having trouble hiring people, I hear very little about what is being done to develop young talent and steer it into channel-related careers.

And it has been said before but it is worth repeating: Nobody grows up dreaming to be a VAR or a channel chief."

Indeed. I often tell our colleagues over at EETimes how I envy their built-in audience. Their readers are people whose high school guidance counselors suggested they become electronic engineers; they studied electronic engineering in college; got their degrees in electronic engineering; found jobs in electronic engineering. What web site do you think they might visit?

It's not as easy for VARs, solution providers, integrators, consultants... whatever. But at least there's ChannelWeb.
