"There is no shortage of IT jobs for those that are technically competent, up-to-date with their skills, and flexible with location. "

Not true here in NY/NJ/CT. I can write you a book about the IT field and how it has collapsed. I jumped out and now and doing something else. Good luck to you! Network Security is the place to migrate.

Watch out! Everybody is going there!

The simple truth - nothing is safe.

See you're not following the last caveat. Just be more flexible!

I'll throw in that I've seen a slight uptick in tech jobs in Seattle, but its been depressed for the last three years.

Refer to the "flexible with location" clause above. ;-)

You're right about the network security thing. That and identity management are just starting to be treated in a thorough manner. Consistancy will come later.

Same with NC. I think they are listing network installation/maintenance (which actually requires a warm body) with software development, which is outsourcable.
