If you find more than you need, and some of them want to move to Sacramento,
please let me know.  We might have something near Chicago or Phoenix as
well.

Absolutely.  If they have the other qualifications, they can learn enough
SAS to do the job.  It's easier to find a statistician and train them in
SAS than it is to find a SAS programmer and train them in statistics.
 
If you're looking for a "SAS guru", it's a different problem.  Becoming a
guru requires a lot of time and curiosity.
