The IT field is one I would not recommend anyone in this country to get into. The last 5 years have seen incomes stagnate or go down as jobs are moved overseas. If the jobs don't go overseas, companies bring the labor force here and lower the income.
When people in this country have to reclass to a new field they are almost always told to go IT, you'll make tons of money. So now we have a huge influx of people that have degrees and certifications and no experience. When the average company looks at people for their IT department they look at what they can hire them for. Experience is taking a backseat to labor costs.
I recently was up for a position with a major international resturaunt chain as the SharePoint administrator, a position that would normally pay 70k in the door. I lost it to a guy fresh out of the school I work at for 45k. How do I know this?
I taught the class he learned it in.
