I know what it takes to fix broken systems. Sometimes it takes an entire overhaul, IF the schedule allows. Other times we just have to work with what we already have.
Yeah, and I do, too.

But that's not what they're doing. No one has called on these people fix anything. They are simply summarizing data. Something they do know how to do, and do expertly.

Every auditor doing work for large accounting firms is new and inexperienced, "paying their dues". Doing exactly the same work these engineers are doing -- summarizing data that is held in computers -- except they are new systems, not old POS that don't even have the luxury of SQL or built-in report generation.

They are not doing software engineering. They are listing revenue and expenses. Something any average person off the street can do. Most engineers are capable of sorting out stuff like this just based on organizational skill. It is not accounting. And it is not engineering.

But they do come with the added feature of understanding the nature of data and relationships.

I'd say perfect for the job.

These types of assignments are what 20-somethings a perfect for - long hours, straightforward, focused, repetitious work.

It isn't engineering or accounting. It is just plain old gruntwork.

"Learn on the fly" ... what a joke. If I told my CEO that my employees were screwing things up because they were "learning on the fly," he'd fire me in an instant.

Again. It isn't engineering.
