Its not the quality, its the quantity.

Two new grads are great, but over the next 10 years some estimates (yeah, 
I know about statistics) say there will be a gap of over 100,000 new IT 
Security jobs to fill in the US and close to a million unfilled positions 
world-wide.

How many ISPs have too many network security people?
