Stay away...stay far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire IT industry is bust...and will continue to be until something is done about Offshore outsourcing. All the tech jobs are now in india, doesnt matter if your a db admin, net admin, designer, consultant etc etc...they are all over there getting paid 2.50 an hour to do the same job as someone in the US making 80k a year...
I'm going back to school in January to finish up my bs in Construction management w/a minor in Tech. Education.
Job stability/satisfaction is my #1 priority right now.
But if I were you...i would seriously stay far away as possible from the IT field...
