The Graying of Our Profession

I'd like to highlight a relevant blog post called "The Data Model of Dorian Gray."

The successful Data Management professional often has years of experience in business and I.T., in addition to specialized skills in data modeling and business analysis. The CDMP has helped to formalize these skills and DAMA is working to establish curriculum frameworks for colleges, but there is no standard path into this profession. Corey discusses what we can do as professionals to bring new blood in and raise awareness among young people.
