The level of understanding is not the same as it used to be. Now this i blame on three things. University have a lot of answer for from a learning and saying to students change jobs often and use it to springboard your salary.Business need to be held accountable and not use staff as disposal tools. Recruit when required and train to improve and increase salary as the business grows Third is students only want to learn to pass a course not to understand how and why you do it.
