[QUOTE="mrogowski, post: 2910844, member: 569061"] All I can say about IT is this: Forget the hard-core tech stuff. It ain't happening anymore. If that 's what you're into, then get a job and stay with it till the bitter end, becuase there is no green grass on the other side. (Denim is correct). If you want to get into something that is IT related, but doesn't go into the hardcore tech stuff there is only one field that shows any promise of stability and longevity. Are you ready... [B]Information Security[/B] Computers, routers, switches, patch cables etc. continue to get changed out, but there is nothing more dynamic than the protection of the data that is held and transmitted across networks today and in the future. The worth all about the data... If you're into changing cables, stick with where you're at. Get into this field and you become a management figure that passes policies for what exists now and what is to come. you will educate the techs and the no-nothings alike and the Human Resource department will depend on you to provide them with information that noone else has the liberty of seeing or experiencing... In the right environment, you become the god of IT - even above the directors and Executives because they do not know the risks that exist to the information the company posesses. It is up to you to tell them and guide them in directions that they never knew existed. Sounds interesting doesn't it? Kay, this is what you do: - Do a Google search for ISACA and become a part of it - Look at certifications such as CISSP, CISA and CISM - NETWORK!!! Find any security organizations within your area and join it. It can be technical (securing Windows, Firewalls, Linux, Oracle, etc.). Talk to other security professionals in the field. get to know them and they you. They will become a valuable resource in the future - SANS has a variety of technical-based courses that you can take (they are not cheap) that will help to improve your understanding of the value for securiing systems Security is expanding despite the massive slump that exists in IT today. Everything computer/network wise is becoming such a comodity that it is simply not worth the effort one must put into getting into the proffession. Take it from a guy who has been there... Best, Mark - CISSP, CISM, CNE [/QUOTE]
