Hold up here! There seems to be an increasing trend...and I'm not sure I like it!

Why is it that more and more job descriptions have programming languages and applications I know nothing about?!

SAP, Java, Oracle, ERP, J2EE, SQL....and the like.

If you've been looking for a job lately, you know what I'm talking about. Programming isn't just for Computer Science majors anymore. I get it, we all need to be up to speed on our programming languages and different applications that are being used in the workplace. The problem is I'm not sure that our professors know about these things or are capable of teaching them.
What do you think? What kind of things are you learning?
When I was in school, I was taught visual basic, some excel applications, Autodesk Inventor (CAD), and GPSS (a "dead" simulation software). College is preparation for industry, right?
So, tell your Industrial Advisory Board* that you want to learn what they are using everyday.

*Industrial Advisory Board - A group of select individuals from industry (typically, but not always, engineering managers) that serve as a liaison between the students and the faculty of your department.
