Sure, if you consider 20+ years to be 'recent.' I was fed the same line when I started college in the early '80s, during the IT boom. Problem was like any boom, it went bust. In my case the job market busted while I was in 2nd year, because everyone's cousin's sister's roommate decided that IT was the way to go.

I should have stuck with microwave comm.
