Anyone working in the IT field?
I'm working to get a BSc in computer science and thinking to go into software engineering. .... I would be graduating in the next 4 years but I heard a lot of the software developer jobs are being outsourced to countries where labour is cheaper. In your opinion whats the best field to be in now and where do you guys think the market would be by 2009? Thanks

software developer jobs are almost non exsistant in the US and the ones that are are almost impossible to get because they're so many unemployed engineer's.
Security is probably one of the best fields to be in right now and even down the road companies are always going to need top notch security guys.
Also the problem with any IT job is the fact that our wonderful president allows people to come over here from other countries on LB-1 visa's and work here for a third of what we're making. So your going to encounter alot of compitition no matter what field you decide to focus on.

Also, at my school, last years software engineers had a job placement of 98% after 6months of graduation with an average starting salary of $50+grand and now you post this?? lol
This kind of stuff worries me though. There are no more promises just by getting a bachelors these days...

Wow, gotta disagree. Plenty of opportunities for well educated ppl in IT. Microsoft, Amazon, etc all hiring (this is just in the Seattle area).
And by Security Job what are you talking about. I see the nebulous term "Security" thrown around all the time. What's the job description?

MMC..>You live in seattle which is the IT capital of the US so I'm sure there are some decent jobs up there IF you have alot of experience. College grads have very little if any experience so it's harder for us to get a job.
Just type in LB-1 visa on google and see what you come up with.
Also see what your compition is as far as other people's qualifications...Go to www.wewantwork.com and check out some of the IT ppl's resumes..If those people can't get jobs imagine how hard it is for a college grad w/ little or no experience to get one...

I work for a big US Data Communications company. Our future is is Optical, Wireless, Security and IP Telephony. If I had a choice it would be a toss up between IP Telephony and Security, both of them have huge futures.

Whoa hey guys. I work in IT i work for Microsoft, in the UK. Its not as much software i deal with, im in charge of a one of 5 teams that take care of the internal systems. Thats from the servers (although they have relocated half of them to Ireland) to the laptops we use, and all the way down to Beta testing Longhorn and things like that.
