Wow big response from this thread. Seems on average, at least of the replies so far, people on p99 doing quite well. Also there seems to be a focus on technology/academia/military oriented jobs - generally as I expected to find.
Also, if you want to go places in IT, I'd highly suggest getting a BA/BS if not a masters. Back before/during college I worked the help desk jobs before I buckled down and switched to finance. Many of my friends who were in the same role as me 5 years ago are in the same or similar positions they were then - unless they have excellent coding skills. We have a dedicated tech department designing our trading software and I'm close with our primary recruiter. She wouldn't consider someone for almost any tech department related role without one.
