Wow I never realized this. The current CEO of the company I work for actually started out as a help desk operator in Arizona and worked himself up to CIO. Now he has started several companies and is very successful and is the reason I have a job now. Very sad to have lost that pipeline.
An in a lot of ways the current problem is that outsourcing have killed the pipeline from college drop-out to sys-admin by way of the call center. as the call centre have now been outsourced to people far away in companies with no upward career path.
The boot camp industry were never about fixing the operations pipeline problem, but to fix the problem of how to turn domain specialist into programmers something it largely failed at by being way to valley and app centric.
