High end studios do not hire students directly out of schools to head their departments. They hire industry vets, and most likely people they've worked with sometime in the past. The dept heads are the ones who will set up the pipelines and pick the software. The students coming out of school will learn what they need to get into the studios.
Softimage need to be in the educational systems, I know this has been brought up before.
Schools liked studios won't change until they see a necessity....when most of the jobs requests are Maya or Max
it is hard for them to do so. I don't have an answer.

It's not enough for one app to be better than another, or a more advanced technology than another. That is not going to get XSI into the Framestores and Orphanages of the world. It requires the people who know how to use it within the context of high end production. Wherever those people go, they take their tools of choice and comfort with them.
You will see an XSI presence in more studios if and when more CG professionals find reason to discover and learn XSI. For that to happen, Softimage must offer something unique or exciting enough to attract their attention away from what has been working well enough.

I understand that, but remember that even Softimage 3D reached the end
of the line at one point, and that's when Maya took the lead. I can
always dream that some higher ups at Framestore or other big factories
would have foresight, plan for change, manage software evolution beyond
the next quarter, select the best, care about the nerves of their
employees... oh well. I guess the marketplace takes care of all that.
And I don't really want to work in a factory anyway.
