Can you imagine that one have to study at least 8 years to fulfill your 
requirements ? Add the 8 years of "practice" you demand, so you will get 
the approbiate canditate in 16 years. This job is a "four in one", no 
wonder you can't find an applicant.
Maybe you should work out what your applicant should really know ?
