Graduated with a Bachelor's in Sport's Management to be able to work in the Front Office of Professional Sport's Teams. I am currently working for Real Salt Lake, Professional Soccer team here. I am an account executive that sells season tickets. It's one of those fields you gotta work your way up so far I can't complain. I get to sit around and talk sports all day with my co-workers.

I have been working in the IT field for nearly 20 years now after leaving education and not really knowing what I wanted to do. I've done it all from network installation to server administration. I hold zero certs currently, but am planning on working my way through the Cisco stuff so that my CV looks a bit better than it currently does, as I have decided to look for a new job in 2013 (been at my current company for 6 years). Was going to go the VoIP route, but after reading posts in this thread, may have to look into the security path instead.

Security of any type will NEVER be outsourced. I would recommend this path to loved ones if they were entertaining an IT career path.

I'd def steer clear of the VoIP route. IMO I'd look at specializing in security, virtualization and then tag on some dbase design/admin specialty and your golden.

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.
