Work demand for Powerhouse jobs......

[Richard Witkopp]

Funny how the cycles work. Europe always seems to be a few years behind the
U.S. in developer demand. ABAP demand died off in the U.S. a few years ago
as the workload all  moved offshore because it's cheaper.

I would never have guessed I'd find Powerhouse work before I found ABAP
work.
