It's possible.  Anytime there's a massive tech boom, shortages of 
candidates with existing expertise cause companies in need of staff to 
be more willing to train.  But those periods are the exception, not the 
norm.

I frequently find myself among twenty-something tech people who first 
entered the workplace during the 1990's fondly recalling the dot-com and 
wondering "when things are going to get back to normal."  They always 
look so dejected when you tell them that today's job market *is* 
"normal."
